IAMFilterData::CreateFilterData
- **Note **This interface has been deprecated. New applications should not use it.
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

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.
