The CreateFilterData method creates binary registry data for a filter. This data can be written to the registry as a REG_BINARY subkey named FilterData, under the filter's CLSID key.
There is typically no reason for an application to call this method. The IFilterMapper2::RegisterFilter method automatically creates the binary data and adds it to the correct location in the registry. For more information, see How to Register DirectShow Filters.
Syntax
HRESULT CreateFilterData(
REGFILTER2 *prf2,
BYTE **prgbFilterData,
ULONG *pcb
);
Parameters
prf2
[in] Pointer to a REGFILTER2 structure that contains the filter information.
prgbFilterData
[out] Address of a variable that receives a pointer to the binary data. The method allocates the memory for the data. The caller must release the memory by calling the CoTaskMemFree method.
pcb
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the size of the binary data, in bytes.
Return Values
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
Requirements
Include fil_data.h, which is located in the Mapper Sample directory.
