The pin property set returns the pin category for a pin on a filter. The filter sets the category when it creates the pin; the category indicates what type of data the pin is delivered or receives by this pin. The GUID for the pin property set is AMPROPSETID_Pin.

The following table shows the properties for the pin property set

Property ID	Description
AMPROPERTY_PIN_CATEGORY	The only property defined in this property set is the pin category property (AMPROPERTY_PIN_CATEGORY). The value of the property is a GUID data type.

The following table shows the categories for the pin property set.

Category GUID	Description
PIN_CATEGORY_ANALOGVIDEOIN	Input pin of the capture filter that takes analog and digitizes it.
PIN_CATEGORY_CAPTURE	Capture pin.
PIN_CATEGORY_CC	Pin providing closed captioning data from Line 21.
PIN_CATEGORY_EDS	Pin providing Extended Data Services (Line 21, even fields).
PIN_CATEGORY_NABTS	Pin providing North American Videotext Standard data.
PIN_CATEGORY_PREVIEW	Preview pin.
PIN_CATEGORY_STILL	Pin that provides a still image. The filter's capture pin must be connected before the still-image pin is connected.
PIN_CATEGORY_TELETEXT	Pin providing teletext (a closed captioning variant).
PIN_CATEGORY_TIMECODE	Pin providing timecode data.
PIN_CATEGORY_VBI	Pin providing vertical blanking interval data.
PIN_CATEGORY_VIDEOPORT	Video output pin to be connected to input pin zero on the Overlay Mixer.
PIN_CATEGORY_VIDEOPORT_VBI	Pin to be connected to the VBI Surface Allocator, the VBI surface allocator filter that is needed to allocate the correct video memory for things like closed captioning overlays in scenarios where a video port is being used. PCI, IEEE 1394, and USB scenarios do not use this filter.
PINNAME_VIDEO_CC_CAPTURE	Hardware slicing closed-captioning pin.

This property is read-only.

The following code shows how to check whether a pin supports this property set, and if so, how to obtain the pin category.

HRESULT GetPinCategory(IPin *pPin, GUID *pPinCategory)
{
    HRESULT hr;
    IKsPropertySet *pKs;
    hr = pPin->QueryInterface(IID_IKsPropertySet, (void **)&pKs);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    {
        // The pin does not support IKsPropertySet.
        return hr;
    }
    // Try to retrieve the pin category.
    DWORD cbReturned;
    hr = pKs->Get(AMPROPSETID_Pin, AMPROPERTY_PIN_CATEGORY, NULL, 0, 
        pPinCategory, sizeof(GUID), &cbReturned);

    // If this succeeded, pPinCategory now contains the category GUID.

    pKs->Release();
    return hr;
}
