CBasePin::ReceiveConnection

Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++)

The ReceiveConnection method accepts a connection from another pin. This method implements the IPin::ReceiveConnection method.

Syntax

HRESULT ReceiveConnection(
    IPin *pConnector,
    AM_MEDIA_TYPE *pmt
);

Parameters

pConnector

Pointer to the connecting pin's IPin interface.

pmt

Pointer to an AM_MEDIA_TYPE structure that specifies the media type.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include those in the following table.

Value	Description
S_OK	Success.
E_POINTER	Null pointer argument.
VFW_E_ALREADY_CONNECTED	The pin is already connected.
VFW_E_NOT_STOPPED	The filter is active and the pin does not support dynamic reconnection.
VFW_E_TYPE_NOT_ACCEPTED	The specified media type is not acceptable.

Remarks

The pin that initiates the connection calls this method on the receiving pin. If the receiving pin returns an error code, the connection fails.

In the base class, this method performs the following steps:

Checks whether the pin is already connected.
Checks whether the filter is stopped.
Calls the CBasePin::CheckConnect method to test whether the connecting pin is suitable.
Calls the CBasePin::CheckMediaType method to test whether the media type is acceptable.

If all of these steps succeed, the method calls the CBasePin::CompleteConnect and SetMediaType methods to complete the connection. If CheckConnect or CheckMediaType fail, the method calls the CBasePin::BreakConnect method.
