CAMThread.InitialThreadProc 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 InitialThreadProc method calls the main thread procedure.

Syntax

DWORD InitialThreadProc(
   LPVOID pv
);

Parameters

pv

this pointer.

Return value

Returns the DWORD returned by CAMThread::ThreadProc. The derived class defines this value.

Remarks

The CAMThread::Create method uses this method for the thread procedure when it creates the thread. It uses the this pointer as the thread argument.

This method calls the CAMThread::CoInitializeHelper method and then ThreadProc.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Header	Wxutil.h (include Streams.h)
Library	Strmbase.lib (retail builds); Strmbasd.lib (debug builds)
