IMFAttributes::GetItem method (mfobjects.h)
Retrieves the value associated with a key.
Syntax
HRESULT GetItem(
[in] REFGUID guidKey,
[in, out] PROPVARIANT *pValue
);
Parameters
[in] guidKey
A GUID that identifies which value to retrieve.
[in, out] pValue
A pointer to a PROPVARIANT that receives the value. The method fills the PROPVARIANT with a copy of the stored value, if the value is found. Call PropVariantClear to free the memory allocated by this method. This parameter can be NULL. If this parameter is NULL, the method searches for the key and returns S_OK if the key is found, but does not copy the value.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
Return code | Description |
