- * What is DXMFilter?
-
- DXMFilter is a way of creating a Visual C++ 5.0
- project for a Microsoft DirectX Media compatible
- COM filter. You can use it instead of the vc5 kit
- included with the SDK.
-
- It will create the code for a filter with no pins.
- This can then be modified by you to add pin and other
- code to create a useful filter...
-
- * Known limitations
-
- - The Project Settings:General tab claims
- you are using MFC. This project does not,
- but if you wish change it be sure to reset the
- C++ runtime selection to MSVCRT (Multithreaded DLL)
- or MSVCRTD (Debug Multithreaded DLL).
-
- - Several dialog options are permanently gray. This
- will be fixed in a future version.
-
- - This has only been tested on NT4, VC++5.0 SP2,
- DXMedia 5.2b. If it does or does not work on
- other configurations, let me know!
-
- - If the project fails to compile (cannot find 'streams.h')
- you need to install the DirectX Media SDK in your
- Visual C++ environment. Assuming a default install,
- add the following include directories in the
- Tools:Options:Directories dialog, at the top of the list:
-
- c:\dxmedia\include
- c:\dxmedia\classes\base
-
- and the following lib directory
-
- c:\dxmedia\lib
-
-
- * Installing DXMFilter
-
- Copy the two files:
-
- DXMFilter.awx
- DXMFilter.hlp
-
- to your Visual Studio templates directory, usually:
- \Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\Template
- When you next use File:New, the projects tab should
- contain an entry for 'DirectXMedia Filter Wizard'. Select
- this and proceed as normal when creating projects.
