IDirectDrawVideoPort::GetOutputFormats

The IDirectDrawVideoPort::GetOutputFormats method retrieves a list of output formats that the DirectDrawVideoPort object supports for a specified input format.

HRESULT GetOutputFormats( 
  LPDDPIXELFORMAT lpInputFormat,  
  LPDWORD lpNumFormats,       
  LPDDPIXELFORMAT lpFormats,  
  DWORD dwFlags               
);

Parameters

lpInputFormat

Address of a DDPIXELFORMAT structure that describes the input format for which conversion information is requested.

lpNumFormats

Address of a variable that contains the number of entries that the array at lpFromats can hold. If this number is less than the total number of codes, the method fills the array with all the codes that fit, sets the value at lpNumFormats to indicate the total number of codes, and returns DDERR_MOREDATA.

lpFormats

Address of an array of DDPIXELFORMAT structures to be filled in with the output formats supported by this DirectDrawVideoPort object. If NULL, the method sets lpNumFormats to the number of supported formats, and then returns DD_OK.

dwFlags

Flags specifying the part of the video signal for which formats are enumerated. One of the following values:

DDVPFORMAT_VIDEO: Returns formats for the video data.
DDVPFORMAT_VBI: Returns formats for the VBI data.

Return Values
