IWMWriterFileSink3::SetAutoIndexing method (wmsdkidl.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The SetAutoIndexing method enables or disables automatic indexing of the file.

Syntax

HRESULT SetAutoIndexing(
  [in] BOOL fDoAutoIndexing
);

Parameters

[in] fDoAutoIndexing

Boolean value that is True to automatically index the file.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.
NS_E_INVALID_REQUEST
The header has already been received

Remarks

The state of automatic indexing must be set before the header is processed. After the header has been processed, any call to SetAutoIndexing results in an error.

Files are indexed by default. To disable indexing, you must call this method, passing False as the parameter.

If you generate an ASF file using bit-rate mutual exclusion for audio content (multiple bit-rate audio), the resulting indexed file will not work with Windows Media Services version 4.1. If you want to stream your file using Windows Media Services 4.1, you must disable automatic indexing before writing the file.
