CMediaType::SetFormatType

The SetFormatType method specifies the format type.

Syntax

  void SetFormatType(
    const GUID *pformattype
);

Parameters

pformattype

Pointer to a GUID that specifies the format type.

Remarks

This method sets the formattype member. The format type defines the layout of the format block. For example, if the format type is FORMAT_VideoInfo, the format block should contain a VIDEOINFOHEADER structure. To set the format block, call the CMediaType::SetFormat method. The caller is responsible for making sure that the format block matches the format type.

Requirements

**  Header:** Declared in Mtype.h; include Streams.h.

**  Library:** Use Strmbase.lib (retail builds) or Strmbasd.lib (debug builds).
