IMSVidVideoRenderer2::put_SuppressEffects method (segment.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Microsoft TV Technologies, is a legacy feature. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code does not use this feature.]

The put_SuppressEffects method sets preferences for power management and visual effects.

Syntax

HRESULT put_SuppressEffects(
  [in] VARIANT_BOOL bSuppress
);

Parameters

[in] bSuppress

Specifies a Boolean value. See Remarks for more information.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.

Remarks

If bSuppress equals VARIANT_TRUE, the Video Control does the following:

• Disables font smoothing and the system-wide drop shadow effect. (Only when the Video Control is using hardware overlay.) This is useful if the application draws onto the overlay.
• Disables the screen saver, and turns off power management for the display. This is useful to prevent the operating system from interrupting playback while the user is watching a program.

If bSuppress equals VARIANT_FALSE, the Video Control uses the existing system settings.
