IMemInputPin::ReceiveCanBlock (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This method determines if the implementation of the IMemInputPin::Receive method might block on the connected output pin.

Syntax

HRESULT ReceiveCanBlock(void);

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Can return any HRESULT value.

The following specific success values can be returned.

Value

Description

S_FALSE

Input pin will not block on a Receive method.

S_OK

Input pin might block on a Receive method.

Remarks

An output pin from a filter might require notification if its thread might be blocked when it calls the Receive method on the connected input pin.

For example, a source filter might prefer to keep reading and buffering data rather than to be blocked, and may choose to start another thread to wait on the blocking Receive method.

If your implementation of Receive calls a downstream filter's Receive method on the same thread, the application will block if that filter blocks, and this method must indicate that.
