Hi,
Which are the good reason to use MIDL to write a directshow filter interface
???

I use C++ description, but a onther developper of my company change always
the filter to use MIDL.
These args, are that proxy/stub are generated and that it's necessaray to
use filter in our graph ....
I have not shown any use of proxy or stub in our code....

And in fact i don't known that are their utility...???

My own args to write com interface in C++, is that with all MIDL filter
include in our solution (VC7) there is always an ask to rebuild them because
the generated source code seem to be always up-to-date.

thank to any advice ...
bernie.
