HRESULT CreateVideoPort(
  DWORD dwFlags,                               
  LPDDVIDEOPORTDESC lpDDVideoPortDesc,         
  LPDIRECTDRAWVIDEOPORT FAR *lplpDDVideoPort,  
  IUnknown FAR *pUnkOuter                      
);
 

Parameters

dwFlags
Flags specifying video-port control options. This parameter can be one of the following flags, or NULL if control options are not needed:
DDVPCREATE_VBIONLY
The process only wants to control the VBI portion of the video stream.
DDVPCREATE_VIDEOONLY
The process only wants to control the non-VBI (video) portion of the video stream.
lpDDVideoPortDesc
Address of a DDVIDEOPORTDESC structure that describes the DirectDrawVideoPort object to be created.
lplpDDVideoPort
Address of a variable that will be filled with a pointer to the new DirectDrawVideoPort object's IDirectDrawVideoPort interface if the call succeeds.
pUnkOuter
Allows for future compatibility with COM aggregation features. Presently, however, this method will return an error if this parameter is anything but NULL.
