Supporting Autoupdate Events with Extension Units

Important

The content and sample code in this topic is outdated and currently unsupported. It may not work with the current driver development toolchain.

This topic contains sample code that demonstrates how to support autoupdate events.

Include the following code in the application source, arbitrarily named TestApp.cpp:

hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, NULL);
if (!hEvent)
{
    printf("CreateEvent failed\n");
    goto errExit;
}
Event.Set = KSEVENTSETID_VIDCAPNotify;
Event.Id = KSEVENT_VIDCAP_AUTO_UPDATE;
Event.Flags = KSEVENT_TYPE_ENABLE;

EventData.NotificationType = KSEVENTF_EVENT_HANDLE;
EventData.EventHandle.Event = hEvent;
EventData.EventHandle.Reserved[0] = 0;
EventData.EventHandle.Reserved[1] = 0;

// register for autoupdate events
hr = m_pKsControl->KsEvent(
    &Event, 
 sizeof(KSEVENT), 
    &EventData, 
 sizeof(KSEVENTDATA), 
    &ulBytesReturned);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
    printf("Failed to register for auto-update event : %x\n", hr);
 goto errExit;
}

// Wait for event for 5 seconds 
dwError = WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, 5000);

// cancel further notifications
hr = m_pKsControl->KsEvent(
    NULL, 
    0, 
    &EventData, 
 sizeof(KSEVENTDATA), 
    &ulBytesReturned);
if (FAILED(hr))  printf("Cancel event returns : %x\n", hr);

if ((dwError == WAIT_FAILED) || 
   (dwError == WAIT_ABANDONED) ||
   (dwError == WAIT_TIMEOUT))
{
    printf("Wait failed : %d\n", dwError);
 goto errExit;
} 
printf("Wait returned : %d\n", dwError);

// handle the autoupdate event..
