First Sample BitmapEffect

RWlodarczyk — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 21:02:00 GMT

We've announced a while ago that the BitmapEffects pipeline within WinFx (particularly in Windows Presentation Foundation) would be extensible. However, no samples were provided. Today I'm posting the first sample that we've created for test purposes. It demonstrates how to build a simple BitmapEffect.

RGB Adjustor BitmapEffect (February CTP): RGBFilterEffect_code.zip (code no longer available)

RGB Adjustor BitmapEffect (February CTP): RGBFilterEffect_compiled.zip (code no longer available)

(please note: When building this sample you will hit a build error (Error result 1 returned from 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe'.). Unfortunately this is expected at this time and this is being worked on so it's addressed in a future update. Also, in order to build the sample, you should follow section 6.2 in the Windows SDK readme.)

Official MSDN Documentation (for WIC and BitmapEffects)

RWlodarczyk — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 18:04:00 GMT

Some folks have asked where the official documentation is for WindowsCodecs. It's there in MSDN, but it's not with the rest of the WinFx Documentation (mainly because the WIC APIs are unmanaged). The official MSDN Documentation for WIC is here: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wic/wiclh/wiclh.asp

Further, as has been mentioned previously at the PDC and other forums, the BitmapEffects infrastructure is also extensible. We have a cool sample coming soon... but until then the official MSDN Documentation for writing your own BitmapEffect is here: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wibe/wibelh/wibelh.asp
