IFilterMapper Interface
This interface is an abstraction that represents registered information about filters. This allows properties of filters to be looked up during loading.
When to Implement
This interface is implemented on the filter mapper and is not intended to be implemented by developers.
When to Use
This interface is used by filters to register and unregister themselves. This is handled in the base classes by the CBaseFilter::Register and CBaseFilter::Unregister member functions. It is also used by the filter graph manager to look up filters and determine their characteristics when building a filter graph to render a given media type.
