CSourceStream Class

CSourceStream Class Hierarchy

The CSourceStream class provides an output pin for the CSource filter class.

For information on using this class, see CSource. This class inherits the CAMThread class, which provides a worker thread for streaming data from the pin. The CSourceStream class implements the following helper methods to send requests to the thread:

The first request to the thread must be Init. The Exit request terminates the thread. In practice, it is not necessary to call any of these methods directly, because the pin's CSourceStream::Active and CSourceStream::Inactive methods call them as needed.

The class also provides several "handler" methods:

These do nothing in the base class, but the derived class can override them.

Requirements

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

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