IVMRMonitorConfig9::SetMonitor method (vmr9.h)
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
On a multi-monitor system, the SetMonitor method specifies the monitor that the VMR should use when it creates the Direct3D device.
Syntax
HRESULT SetMonitor(
[in] UINT uDev
);
Parameters
[in] uDev

Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include the following.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|

Invalid argument; uDev does not correspond to a valid monitor. |

|
Cannot set the monitor after the VMR's input pins have been connected. |
Remarks
Use this method on a multi-monitor system to specify to the VMR which Direct3D device should be used when connecting to an upstream decoder filter.
