Flag

Definition

VIDEO_CONFIGURE_CURRENT

The driver sets or returns the current destination rectangle description.

VIDEO_CONFIGURE_GET

The driver returns the current rectangle description to the client.

VIDEO_CONFIGURE_MAX

The driver returns the maximum allowable destination rectangle size. (Used only with VIDEO_CONFIGURE_GET.)

VIDEO_CONFIGURE_MIN

The driver returns the minimum allowable destination rectangle size. (Used only with VIDEO_CONFIGURE_GET.)

VIDEO_CONFIGURE_QUERY

The driver indicates whether or not it supports the specified request.

VIDEO_CONFIGURE_SET

The driver receives a client-specified rectangle description.

Return Value

The driver should return DV_ERR_OK if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, it should return one of the DV_ERR error codes defined in msvideo.h. Custom error codes are also allowed (see DVM_GETERRORTEXT).

Comments

A client sends the DVM_DST_RECT message by calling the driver’s DriverProc entry point, passing the specified parameter values. Applications can send this message by calling the videoMessage function, which is described in the Video for Windows Development Kit.

The driver should test the VIDEO_CONFIGURE_SET and VIDEO_CONFIGURE_GET flags to determine whether to set or to return a rectangle description. If neither of these flags is set, the driver should return an error code.

The meaning of a destination rectangle is dependent on the specified video channel, as explained in Setting Source and Destination Rectangles.

User-mode video capture drivers using VCUser.lib can call VC_SetOverlayRect when processing the DVM_DST_RECT message for the VIDEO_EXTERNALOUT channel.
