IKsPropertySet Interface

The IKsPropertySet interface enables you to set and retrieve device properties.

Implement this interface on any pin to expose its properties and to enable its properties to be changed.

Use this interface in your application or filter to access device properties.

Methods in Vtable Order

IUnknown methodsDescription
QueryInterface Returns pointers to supported interfaces.
AddRef Increments the reference count.
Release Decrements the reference count.
IKsPropertySet methodsDescription
Set Sets a property identified by a property set GUID and a property ID.
Get Retrieves a property identified by a property set GUID and a property ID.
QuerySupported Determines whether an object supports a specified property set.

IKsPropertySet::Get

IKsPropertySet Interface

Retrieves a property identified by a property set GUID and a property ID.

Syntax

HRESULT Get(
  REFGUID guidPropSet,
  DWORD dwPropID,
  LPVOID pInstanceData,
  DWORD cbInstanceData,
  LPVOID pPropData,
  DWORD cbPropData,
  DWORD *pcbReturned
  );

Parameters

guidPropSet
[in] Property set GUID.
dwPropID
[in] Identifier of the property within the property set.
pInstanceData
[out, size_is(cbInstanceData)] Pointer to instance data for the property.
cbInstanceData
[in] Number of bytes in the buffer to which pInstanceData points.
pPropData
[out, size_is(cbPropData)] Pointer to the retrieved buffer, which contains the value of the property.
cbPropData
[in] Number of bytes in the buffer to which pPropData points.
pcbReturned
[out] Pointer to the number of bytes returned in the buffer to which pPropData points.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface.

The current Microsoft® DirectShow® implementation returns E_PROP_SET_UNSUPPORTED if the property set is not supported or E_PROP_ID_UNSUPPORTED if the property ID is not supported for the specified property set.

Remarks

To retrieve a property, allocate a buffer which this method will then fill in. To determine the necessary buffer size, specify NULL for pPropData and zero (0) for cbPropData. This method returns the necessary buffer size in pcbReturned.

IKsPropertySet::QuerySupported

IKsPropertySet Interface

Determines whether an object supports a specified property set.

Syntax

HRESULT QuerySupported(
  REFGUID guidPropSet,
  DWORD dwPropID,
  DWORD *pTypeSupport
  );

Parameters

guidPropSet
[in] Property set GUID.
dwPropID
[in] Identifier of the property within the property set.
pTypeSupport
[out] Pointer to a value in which to store flags indicating the support provided by the driver. Supported flags include the following:
KSPROPERTY_SUPPORT_GET You can retrieve the property by calling the IKsPropertySet::Get method.
KSPROPERTY_SUPPORT_SET You can change the property by calling IKsPropertySet::Set.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface.

The return values for the current DirectShow implementation include the following:
E_NOTIMPL Property set is not supported.
E_PROP_ID_UNSUPPORTED Property ID is not supported for the specified property set.
E_PROP_SET_UNSUPPORTED Property set is not supported.
S_OK Specified property set and property ID combination is supported.

IKsPropertySet::Set

IKsPropertySet Interface

Sets a property identified by a property set GUID and a property ID.

Syntax

HRESULT Set(
  REFGUID guidPropSet,
  DWORD dwPropID,
  LPVOID pInstanceData,
  DWORD cbInstanceData,
  LPVOID pPropData,
  DWORD cbPropData
  );

Parameters

guidPropSet
[in] Property set GUID.
dwPropID
[in] Identifier of the property within the property set.
pInstanceData
[out, size_is(cbInstanceData)] Pointer to instance data for the property.
cbInstanceData
[in] Number of bytes in the buffer to which pInstanceData points.
pPropData
[out, size_is(cbPropData)] Pointer to the retrieved buffer, which contains the value of the property.
cbPropData
[in] Number of bytes in the buffer to which pPropData points.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface.

The current DirectShow implementation returns E_PROP_SET_UNSUPPORTED if the property set is not supported or E_PROP_ID_UNSUPPORTED if the property ID is not supported for the specified property set.
