IPropertySetter::LoadXML method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 LoadXML method loads property data expressed in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Syntax

HRESULT LoadXML(
  [in] IUnknown *pxml
);

Parameters

pxml [in]

Pointer to the IUnknown interface of an XML element created by the Microsoft XML parser.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Remarks

Typically, applications will not need to use this method. DES uses it internally to load properties from XTL files.

To use this method, create an IXMLDocument object and use it to parse an XML file. Then use the IXMLDocument object to retrieve IXMLElement objects. If the object has properties, you can pass the IXMLElement pointer to the LoadXML method. The method loads the properties into the property setter.
