DbgInitialise function

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The DbgInitialise function initializes the debug library. Ignored in retail builds.

Syntax

void DbgInitialise(
   HINSTANCE hInst
);

Parameters

hInst

Handle to the module instance.

Return value

This function does not return a value.

Remarks

In an executable, call this method before using the DirectShow debug facilities. Before the executable quits, call the DbgTerminate function to clean up the debug library.

In a DLL that links to the base-class library (Strmbase.lib), it is not necessary to call this function. The function is called automatically when the DLL is loaded.

Requirements

Requirement Value
Header
Wxdebug.h (include Streams.h)
Library
Strmbase.lib (retail builds);
Strmbasd.lib (debug builds)
