IWMProfileManager::LoadProfileByID 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 It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer.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 LoadProfileByID method loads a system profile identified by its globally unique identifier. To load a custom profile, use IWMProfileManager::LoadProfileByData.
Syntax
HRESULT LoadProfileByID(
[in] REFGUID guidProfile,
[out] IWMProfile **ppProfile
);
Parameters
[in] guidProfile
GUID identifying the profile. For more information, see the table of defined constants in Using System Profiles.
[out] ppProfile
Pointer to a pointer to an IWMProfile interface.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method succeeded. |
|
There is not enough available memory. |
|
The ppProfile parameter is NULL. |
Remarks
Only system profiles have IDs. Because there are no system profiles for the Windows Media 9 Series codecs, this method is primarily useful for obtaining version 8 system profiles that you will convert to custom profiles using the Windows Media 9 Series codecs. For more information, see Reusing Stream Configurations.
