The PCPIN_DESCRIPTOR structure describes a pin factory.
Specifies the global maximum number of times that this pin type can be instantiated. The global maximum counts the number of pin instances that the adapter driver can support across all instances of the filter. The count can be set to zero to indicate that the pin cannot be instantiated. A value of ULONG(-1) indicates the pin can be instantiated any number of times. Any other value indicates a specific number of times that the pin can be instantiated.
Specifies the maximum number times that the pin can be instantiated on a single instance of the filter. The count can be set to zero to indicate that the pin cannot be instantiated. A value of ULONG(-1) indicates the pin can be instantiated any number of times. Any other value indicates a specific number of times that the pin can be instantiated.
Specifies the minimum number of times that the pin needs to be instantiated on an instance of the filter. This member is a definite lower bound on the number of instances of a pin that must exist in order for a filter to be able to function.
Pointer to the automation table. This member is a pointer to a structure of type PCAUTOMATION_TABLE. The pointer can be NULL to indicate that no automation is supported. The automation table specifies the handlers for the properties and events belonging to the pin instance.
Describes the pin factory. This member is a structure of type KSPIN_DESCRIPTOR. A pin factory can have zero interfaces and zero mediums. The list of interfaces is ignored in all cases. The standard-medium list will default to a list containing only device I/O (KSMEDIUM_STANDARD_DEVIO).
This structure is used to describe each of the pin factories that a miniport driver implements. The driver's PCFILTER_DESCRIPTOR structure contains a pointer to an array of PCPIN_DESCRIPTOR structures. The number of elements in the array is equal to the number of pin factories in the filter.
The MaxGlobalInstanceCount, MaxFilterInstanceCount, and MinFilterInstanceCount members are maximum and minimum counts that describe the pin's resource restrictions and functional requirements. An autoinitialized PCPIN_DESCRIPTOR array can present only a static estimate of the available pin resources. The IPinCount::PinCount method provides a means for the driver to revise its list of available pin resources dynamically as pins are allocated and freed.
The MaxGlobalInstanceCount value is similar in meaning to:
- The PinCount method's GlobalPossible call parameter.
- The KSPROPERTY_PIN_GLOBALCINSTANCES property value (the KSPIN_CINSTANCES structure's PossibleCount member).
- The PinCount method's FilterPossible call parameter.
- The KSPROPERTY_PIN_CINSTANCES property value (the KSPIN_CINSTANCES structure's PossibleCount member).
- The PinCount method's FilterNecessary call parameter.
- The KSPROPERTY_PIN_NECESSARYINSTANCES property value.
