Retrieves the current window width.

Syntax 

HRESULT get_Width(
  long* 
pWidth
);

Parameters

pWidth

Window width, in pixels.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULTvalue.

Remarks

The window has a position on the desktop. This is expressed in pixels by four coordinates (left, top, right, and bottom).

Interfaces that are automated by OLE typically express this position through left, top, width, and height; this is the convention used in DirectShow.

All coordinates are expressed in pixels, and changing any coordinate will update the window immediately.

Setting the left or top coordinates moves the window left or up, respectively; these coordinates have no effect on the width and height of the window. Likewise, setting the width and height does not affect the left and top coordinates.

Requirements

Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 3.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
Note Microsoft DirectShow applications and DirectShow filters have different include file and Library requirements
