IEnumMediaTypes Interface
A version of this page is also available for
4/8/2010
This interface enumerates the preferred formats for a pin.
When to Implement
This interface must be implemented and made available by the IPin::EnumMediaTypes method. The CBasePin::EnumMediaTypes member function automatically does this in the DirectShow class library and uses the CEnumMediaTypes class to create the enumerator object.
When to Use
This interface is normally used by a connecting pin to determine the media type when negotiating a connection.
It can also be passed through to other pins, either upstream or downstream of the filter, when intervening filters do not have a list of preferred media types.
For example, a transform-inplace filter might pass the IEnumMediaTypes interface of a downstream input pin to the connecting output pin of the upstream filter, instead of providing its own IEnumMediaTypes interface.
