IMixerPinConfig::SetZOrder method (mpconfig.h)
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The SetZOrder method sets the z-order of a particular video stream.
This method is not currently implemented and returns E_NOTIMPL.
Syntax
HRESULT SetZOrder(
[in] DWORD dwZOrder
);
Parameters
[in] dwZOrder
Value indicating the order in which streams will clip each other.
Return value
Returns E_NOTIMPL.
Remarks
The z-order indicates which streams can clip other streams. Images with larger z-values are always in front of images with smaller z-values.
The relative order of multiple streams is significant only if the video images overlap.
Specifying the same z-order for two overlapping streams can cause strange video artifacts.
