CBaseControlVideo Class

Microsoft DirectShow 9.0

CBaseControlVideo Class

The CBaseControlVideo class implements the IBasicVideo dual interface and controls the video properties of a generic video window. Generally, a CBaseControlVideo object is a video renderer that draws video into a window on the display.

The CBaseControlVideo class supports both properties and methods. Properties are more easily accessible from many Automation controllers (such as the Microsoft® Visual Basic® programming system). However, some operations require applications to be able to change several properties simultaneously; for this reason, methods are provided that enable a number of related properties to be changed.

Many CBaseControlVideo member functions require only that the video renderer be connected to a filter graph. If it is not connected, member functions will return VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED. Properties set on a video renderer persist between successive connections and disconnections. All applications should ensure that they reset the renderer properties before starting a presentation.

When working with video, the application can select a portion of the video to use. This portion is the source rectangle that the CBaseControlVideo object controls. CBaseControlVideo enables your application to set and retrieve the source rectangle. All the rectangles that CBaseControlVideo uses employ top, left, width, and height rather than top, left, right, and bottom, which is favored in Microsoft Win32® programming. When no source rectangle has been set, the properties of the source rectangle return the full, native video size.
