| Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++) |
Note This introductory material applies only to C++ developers.
Microsoft® DirectShow® supports system-defined events, which filters in the filter graph pass to the filter graph manager. Filters pass these events to the filter graph manager by using the IMediaEventSink::Notify method, and the application retrieves them with the IMediaEvent::GetEvent method.
When you retrieve an event by calling GetEvent, the event can contain interface pointers or pointers to allocated memory. Code that uses GetEvent should, therefore, call IMediaEvent::FreeEventParams to free any resources associated with the event's parameters after it handles the event.
The DVD event notification codes are listed in Dvdevcod.h. See Event Notification Codes for non-DVD event notification codes. The following list shows the available DVD event notification codes in alphabetical order.
