IGraphBuilder::Render

The Render method builds a filter graph that renders the data from a specified output pin.

Syntax

HRESULT Render(
  IPin *ppinOut
);

Parameters

ppinOut

[in] Pointer to the IPin interface on an output pin.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT. Possible values include the following.

Value Description
S_OK Success.
VFW_S_AUDIO_NOT_RENDERED Partial success; the audio was not rendered.
VFW_S_DUPLICATE_NAME Success; the Filter Graph Manager modified a filter name to avoid duplication.

Remarks

This method renders the data from a specified output pin, adding new filters to the graph as needed. Filters are tried in the same order as for the IGraphBuilder::Connect method. For more information, see Intelligent Connect.

During the connection process, the Filter Graph Manager ignores pins on intermediate filters if the pin name begins with a tilde (~). For more information, see PIN_INFO.
