IDirectDrawVideoPort::GetInputFormats

The IDirectDrawVideoPort::GetInputFormat method retrieves the input formats supported by the DirectDrawVideoPort object.

HRESULT GetInputFormats(

LPDWORD lpNumFormats,

LPDDPIXELFORMAT lpFormats,

DWORD dwFlags

);

Parameters

lpNumFormats

Address of a variable containing the number of entries that the array at lpFromats can hold. If this number is less than the total number of codes, the method fills the array with as many codes as will fit, sets the value at lpNumFormats to indicate the total number of codes, and returns DDERR_MOREDATA.

lpFormats

Address of an array of DDPIXELFORMAT structures that will be filled in with the input formats supported by this DirectDrawVideoPort object. If this parameter is NULL, the method sets lpNumFormats to the number of supported formats and the returns DD_OK.

dwFlags

Flags specifying the part of the video signal for which formats will be enumerated. This parameter can be one of the following values.

DDVPFORMAT_VIDEO
	Returns formats for the video data.
DDVPFORMAT_VBI

Remarks

This method can also be used to return the number of formats supported. To do this, set the lpFormats parameter to NULL. When the method returns, the variable at lpNumFormats contains the total number of supported input formats.
