IVPBaseNotify Interface

IVPBaseNotify enables you to control the properties of a filter that uses a video port. The IVPNotify interface derives from this interface. See also IVPBaseConfig and IVPConfig.

The Overlay Mixer filter implements this interface so you won't need to implement it in most cases. Implement this interface when you need to alter the default behavior.

Use this interface in your application when you need to access video port properties.

IVPBaseNotify::RenegotiateVPParameters

IVPBaseNotify Interface

Initializes the connection to the decoder.

Syntax

HRESULT RenegotiateVPParameters(void) PURE;

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface. HRESULT can include one of the following standard constants, or other values not listed.

E_FAIL Failure.
E_POINTER NULL pointer argument.
E_INVALIDARG Invalid argument.
E_NOTIMPL Method is not supported.
NOERROR No error.

Remarks

The Overlay Mixer filter negotiates various parameters (by using the IVPBaseConfig interface) with the decoder or driver. Call this method if any of those parameters (such as the video format or size) change. Currently, the Overlay Mixer repeats the whole connection process. You can call this method even while the graph is playing.

E_FAIL	Failure.
E_POINTER	NULL pointer argument.
E_INVALIDARG	Invalid argument.
E_NOTIMPL	Method is not supported.
NOERROR	No error.
