CAMThread.Close method

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 Close method waits for the thread to exit, then releases its resources.

Syntax

void Close();

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

No return value.

Remarks

Before calling this method, you must provide a way for the thread to exit. For example, in your CAMThread::ThreadProc method, define a request that signals the thread to exit. Then call the CAMThread::CallWorker method with that value.

The ~ CAMThread destructor method calls this method.
