ICCompressQuery  1KSU0GZ 

The ICCompressQuery macro queries a video compression driver to determine if it supports a specific input format or if it can compress a specific input format to a specific output format. You can use this macro or explicitly call the ICM_COMPRESS_QUERY9.7GL7 message.

DWORD ICCompressQuery(

    hic,

 

    lpbiInput,

 

    lpbiOutput

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

hic

Handle of a compressor.

lpbiInput

Address of a BITMAPINFO.2PXNH structure containing the input format.

lpbiOutput

Address of a BITMAPINFO structure containing the output format. You can specify zero for this parameter to indicate any output format is acceptable.

 

Return Values

Returns ICERR_OK if the specified compression is supported or ICERR_BADFORMAT otherwise.

Remarks

When a driver receives this message, it should examine the BITMAPINFO structure associated with lpbiInput to determine if it can compress the input format.
