[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The SetPostViewProps method specifies the format for the specified output stream.

Syntax

HRESULT SetPostViewProps(
  [in] WORD          wStreamNumber,
  [in] IWMMediaProps *pOutput
);

Parameters

[in] wStreamNumber

WORD containing the stream number.

[in] pOutput

Pointer to an IWMMediaProps interface.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code	Description
S_OK	The method succeeded.
NS_E_INVALID_STREAM	The stream number specified by wStreamNumber is not valid.
E_OUTOFMEMORY	The method was unable to create an internal structure.

Remarks

It is not possible to resize the video output using postview properties.

SetPostViewProps fails if IWMWriter::BeginWriting has been called. If any postview properties need to be changed, this should be done before calling BeginWriting.
