ICM_COMPRESS_QUERY
The ICM_COMPRESS_QUERY message queries a video compression driver to determine if it supports a specific input format or if it can compress a specific input format to a specific output format. You can send this message explicitly or by using the ICCompressQuery macro.
ICM_COMPRESS_QUERY
wParam = (DWORD) (LPVOID) lpbiInput;
lParam = (DWORD) (LPVOID) lpbiOutput;
Parameters
lpbiInput
Pointer to a BITMAPINFO structure containing the input format.
lpbiOutput
Pointer to a BITMAPINFO structure containing the output format. You can specify zero for this parameter to indicate any output format is acceptable.
Return Values
Returns ICERR_OK if the specified compression is supported or ICERR_BADFORMAT otherwise.
Remarks
When a driver receives this message, it should examine the BITMAPINFO structure associated with lpbiInput to determine if it can compress the input format.
Requirements
** Windows NT/2000/XP:** Included in Windows NT 3.1 and later.
** Windows 95/98/Me:** Included in Windows 95 and later.
