Sample DirectShow Video Window Program (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

The following sample code renders a video file named Test.avi inside an application window.

Important

For readability, the following code sample does not contain security checking or error handling. Do not use the following code in a production environment.

#include <windows.h>
#include <streams.h>

#define CLASSNAME "VideoWindow"

IGraphBuilder   *pGraph = NULL;
IMediaControl   *pMediaControl = NULL;
IVideoWindow    *pVidWin = NULL;
HWND            g_hwnd;

void PlayFile(void)
{
    // Create the filter graph manager.
    CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FilterGraph, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC, 
        IID_IGraphBuilder, (void **)&pGraph);
    pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl, (void **)&pMediaControl);
    pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IVideoWindow, (void **)&pVidWin);

    // Build the graph. 
    pGraph->RenderFile(L"Test.wmv", NULL);

    //Set the video window.
    pVidWin->put_Owner((OAHWND)g_hwnd);
    pVidWin->put_WindowStyle(WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS);

    RECT grc;
    GetClientRect(g_hwnd, &grc);
    pVidWin->SetWindowPosition(0, 0, grc.right, grc.bottom);

    // Run the graph.
    pMediaControl->Run();
}

void CleanUp(void)
{
    pVidWin->put_Visible(OAFALSE);
    pVidWin->put_Owner(NULL);   
    pMediaControl->Release();
    pVidWin->Release();
    pGraph->Release();
}

// Message handler.
long FAR PASCAL WindowProc( HWND hwnd, UINT msg, UINT wParam, LONG lParam)
{
    switch (msg)
    {
        case WM_DESTROY:
            CleanUp();
            PostQuitMessage(0);
            break;
        default:
            return (DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam));
    }
    return(NULL);
}

// Main.
int PASCAL WinMain( HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR  
pCmdLine, 
    int nCmdShow )
{
    MSG         msg;
    WNDCLASS    wc;

    CoInitialize(NULL);

    ZeroMemory(&wc, sizeof wc);
    wc.lpfnWndProc  = WindowProc;
    wc.hInstance    = hInst;
    wc.hIcon        = LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_APPLICATION );
    wc.hCursor      = LoadCursor( NULL, IDC_ARROW );
    wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject( BLACK_BRUSH );
    wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
    wc.lpszClassName = CLASSNAME;
    RegisterClass( &wc );

    g_hwnd = CreateWindow(
        CLASSNAME,
        "DirectShow Sample",
        (WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU |
        WS_THICKFRAME | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX),
        CW_USEDEFAULT,
        CW_USEDEFAULT,
        CW_USEDEFAULT,
        CW_USEDEFAULT,
        NULL,
        NULL,
        hInst,
        NULL);

    ShowWindow( g_hwnd, nCmdShow );
    UpdateWindow( g_hwnd );
    PlayFile();

    while( GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 ) )
    {
        TranslateMessage( &msg );
        DispatchMessage( &msg );
    }

    CoUninitialize();
    return msg.wParam;
}

For readability, this sample code omits the following functionality:

• It does not resize the video window when the parent window is resized. To resize the video window, call IVideoWindow::SetWindowPosition again in response to a WM_SIZE message on the parent window.
• It performs no error checking.
• It stretches the video window without regard to the aspect ratio of the source. To determine the aspect ratio, use the IBasicVideo Interface interface.
• It does not handle end-of-stream events.
