H.264 encoding using Windows media foundation

I am developing an server application that stream high quality real-time video of a windows application.

Looking at the advantages of H.264, I am planning to use this format for video stream. I have looked into many third party codecs, but can I use windows media foundation API to encode captured frames to H.264 stream?

That would be great if you can guide me to a sample app for this.

I am totally new to media and streaming, I am planning to use C++ for my server application.

Any advice will be appreciated!
