IVideoWindow::SetWindowPosition method (control.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 SetWindowPosition method sets the position of the video window.

Remarks
This method has the same effect as calling the IVideoWindow::put_Left, IVideoWindow::put_Top, IVideoWindow::put_Width, and IVideoWindow::put_Height methods.
If resizing the window to the specified dimensions is impossible, this method modifies the window's size and location to make the window fit. Call the IVideoWindow::GetWindowPosition method to determine the result.
