COARefTime Class

COARefTime Class Hierarchy

The COARefTime class converts reference times between seconds and 100-nanosecond units.

This class converts between reference times that are compatible with Automation and reference times that are compatible with C/C++. Automation-compatible interfaces use double values to represent time in seconds. Other interfaces use 64-bit LONGLONG values to represent time in 100-nanosecond units. The following types are defined for these values:

typedef LONGLONG  REFERENCE_TIME;
typedef double    REFTIME;

Filters can use the COARefTime class to convert between the two formats. This class is derived from the CRefTime class.

Requirements

Header: Declared in Ctlutil.h; include Streams.h.

Library: Use Strmbase.lib (retail builds) or Strmbasd.lib (debug builds).
