Copying ltmmMediaType Attributes and Data for C++

The following code demonstrates how to copy a media type's attributes and data to another media type.

// include the LEAD Multimedia TOOLKIT header 
#include "ltmm.h" 
 
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
// CopyMediaTypeAttributes 
// copies data and attributes from one media type to another 
// pDest - destination media type interface 
// pSource - source media type interface

   // return error if NULL 
   if(!pSource || !pDest) 
      return E_POINTER; 
 
   // get the format data size 
   hr = pSource->get_FormatSize(&cbData); 
   if(FAILED(hr)) 
      return hr;
