Directshow Render window DLL,

Question

Is there a way to pop up the directshow render windows from DLL. Same code pops up the video render window from .exe application. DLLs are libraries so you can not have a graphical sort of feed back I suppose. Well I know it is a reciepe for a disaster, but it is just for debugging.

I came across this.

Would any of the suggestions work ??

Answer 1

No constraints exist that prevent you from interacting with DirectShow API from DLL. You can do all the same GUI from there. Moreover, no hacks involved - you do it in a straightforward way: you create window, you create DirectShow graph and filters, you set everything up and it works the same way.
