IMediaEventEx Interface (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
This interface derives from IMediaEvent and adds a method that allows registration of a window to receive messages when events occur.
When to Implement
This interface is implemented by the filter graph manager.
Unlike IMediaEvent, IMediaEventEx is not available through Automation, and therefore cannot be called directly from Microsoft® Visual Basic®.
The CMediaEvent Class supports IMediaEventEx.
When to Use
This interface is used by applications to receive notification that an event has occurred. Applications can then avoid using a separate thread that waits until an event is set.
For a list of system-defined event notifications, see Event Notification Codes.
