Hi!

I want to set some properties of DShow filter inside my program.

I found that I may display property page by quering
ISpecifyPropertyPages interface and then calling OleCreatePropertyFrame. . .

But I doesn't want to display property window, instead I want to
set some properties without displaying the window.

Is it possible? And if possible, how I may do it?

Best regards,
Vasya.

PS: Sorry for my English.

It depends on the property. Some properties are supported by well defined
interfaces (IAMStreamConfig for example). This is generally the case for
more recent 'standard' filters. 3rd party filters may or may not have
interfaces to control the properties on property pages.

There is a 'hack' which lets you open and modify the property page without
it being displayed. Alessandro posted it sometime last year - you will
need to search this group.
