The SetMessageDrain method specifies a window that will receive window messages sent to the renderer.
Syntax
HRESULT SetMessageDrain(
HWND hwnd
);
Parameters
hwnd
[in] Window handle of the message drain window.
Return Value
Returns an HRESULT value.
Remarks
The full-screen video renderer posts all mouse and keyboard messages it receives to the window designated as a message drain, with the message parameters untranslated. The exact list of messages passed is the same as for IVideoWindow::put_MessageDrain. An application can use this to implement hot-key support for full-screen video. For example, it might watch for the CTRL+P key combination as a cue to pause the video.
