Run, Pause, or Stop a Filter Graph

After you build or load a filter graph in GraphEdit, you can run, pause, or stop the graph. You can do this through the menu or the toolbar.

The following table lists the menu command, toolbar button, and equivalent Microsoft® DirectShow® method for each operation.

Command	Menu	Toolbar	DirectShow Method
Run	On the Graph menu, click Play.		IMediaControl::Run
Pause	On the Graph menu, click Pause.		IMediaControl::Pause
Stop	On the Graph menu, click Stop.		IMediaControl::Stop

If the graph is seekable, you can seek using the slider bar that appears below the toolbar.
