IMSVidCtl::get__InputsAvailable method (msvidctl.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Microsoft TV Technologies, is a legacy feature. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code does not use this feature.]
The get__InputsAvailable method retrieves the input devices that are available in a specified category.
Syntax
HRESULT get__InputsAvailable(
[in] LPCGUID CategoryGuid,
[out] IMSVidInputDevices **pVal
);
Parameters
[in] CategoryGuid
Pointer to a GUID that specifies the category to enumerate. Supported categories include the following.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| KSCATEGORY_BDA_NETWORK_PROVIDER | BDA-compatible tuner devices. |
| KSCATEGORY_TVTUNER | Non-BDA analog tuner devices. |
| GUID_NULL | Miscellaneous devices (file source, DVD). |
[out] pVal
Receives an IMSVidInputDevices interface pointer. The caller must release the interface.
Return value
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
Remarks
This method returns a read-only collection of input devices. Use the returned IMSVidInputDevices pointer to enumerate the collection.
Examples
The following example enumerates the available BDA-compatible tuners and retrieves their friendly names.
CComPtr<IMSVidInputDevices> pInputs;
hr = pVidControl->get__InputsAvailable(&KSCATEGORY_BDA_NETWORK_PROVIDER, &pInputs);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
long lCount;
hr = pInputs->get_Count(&lCount);
for (long ix = 0; ix < lCount; ix++)
{
CComBSTR bstrName;
CComVariant var(ix);
CComPtr<IMSVidInputDevice> pInput;
hr = pInputs->get_Item(var, &pInput);
hr = pInput->get_Name(&bstrName);
// Display the name.
}
}
