Windows Media technology introduces a number of additional event notification codes to the underlying DirectShow API.

A DirectShow application that uses Windows Media filters can use these event notification codes to receive valuable information about the activities taking place within the filter graph.

The Windows Media event notification codes fit directly into the DirectShow API framework and are used in exactly the same way as the standard DirectShow event notification codes.

For specific programming details for working with event notification codes in your application, see Event Notification Codes in the DirectShow documentation.
