IAVIStream::Read

The Read method reads data from a stream and copies it to an application-defined buffer. If no buffer is supplied, it determines the buffer size needed to retrieve the next buffer of data. Called when an application uses the AVIStreamRead function.

HRESULT Read(

PAVISTREAM ps,
LONG lStart,
LONG lSamples,
LPVOID lpBuffer,
LONG cbBuffer,
LONG *plBytes,
LONG *plSamples
);

Parameters
ps

Address of the interface to a stream.

lStart

Starting sample or frame number to read.

lSamples

Number of samples to read.

lpBuffer

Address of the application-defined buffer to contain the stream data. You can also specify NULL to request the required size of the buffer. Many applications precede each read operation with a query for the buffer size to see how large a buffer is needed.

cbBuffer

Size, in bytes, of the buffer specified by lpBuffer.

plBytes

Address to contain the number of bytes read.

plSamples

Address to contain the number of samples read.

Return Values
Returns AVIERR_OK if successful or AVIERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL if the buffer is not large enough to hold the data. If successful, Read also returns either a buffer of data with the number of frames (samples) included in the buffer or the required buffer size, in bytes.

Remarks
For handlers written in C++, Read has the following syntax:

HRESULT Read(LONG lStart, LONG lSamples,

LPVOID lpBuffer, LONG cbBuffer,

LONG *plBytes, LONG *plSamples);

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
