DirectShow frustrations.

[sjaycohn]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.

I've been struggling to create a very simple DirectShow application that will display a live video stream in a window of our choosing with text overlay. I can get the video stream to show, but always in its own window, not the main form. Also, the attempts at text overlay have met with limited success, either not displaying or only showing the text in the main window sans video.

The test project that's attached will show you what I'm talking about. The commented sections, such as the VMR stuff, are part of the myriad tests I've been doing.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
