IFilterMapper2::CreateCategory

The CreateCategory method adds a new filter category to the registry.

Syntax

  HRESULT CreateCategory(
  REFCLSID clsidCategory,
  DWORD dwCategoryMerit,
  LPCWSTR Description
);

Parameters

clsidCategory

[in] Class identifier (CLSID) of the new filter category.

dwCategoryMerit

[in] Merit of the category. Categories with higher merit are enumerated first.

Description

[in] Descriptive name for the category.

Return Values

Returns S_OK if successful, or an HRESULT value indicating the cause of the error.

Remarks

The filter graph manager initially skips all categories with a merit value less than or equal to MERIT_DO_NOT_USE, to speed up the graph-building process. Filter categories that should not be considered for playback should have a merit of MERIT_DO_NOT_USE or less.

A filter can appear in one or more categories (for example, Video Compressors) to restrict the search space.

Requirements

Header: Declared in Strmif.h; include Dshow.h.

Library: Use Strmiids.lib.
