IWMProfileManager::GetSystemProfileCount method (wmsdkidl.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The GetSystemProfileCount method retrieves the number of system profiles.

Syntax

HRESULT GetSystemProfileCount(
  [out] DWORD *pcProfiles
);

Parameters

[out] pcProfiles

Pointer to a count of the system profiles.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Remarks

Because there are no system profiles for the Windows Media 9 Series codecs, this method is primarily useful for obtaining version 8 system profiles that you will convert to custom profiles using the Windows Media 9 Series codecs. For more information, see Reusing Stream Configurations.

This method can be used with LoadSystemProfile to iterate through the system profiles.

The IWMProfileManager2::SetSystemProfileVersion method determines which system files are enumerated. Most applications should set the version to WMT_VER_8_0. Setting the version to WMT_VER_9_0 will return zero profiles.
