Leadtools.ScreenCapture Namespace > ScreenCaptureOptions Structure : OptimizedHotkey Property




Gets or sets a flag that indicates whether to optimize HotKey processing.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property OptimizedHotkey As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As ScreenCaptureOptions
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.OptimizedHotkey = value
 
value = instance.OptimizedHotkey
C# 
public bool OptimizedHotkey {get; set;}
Managed Extensions for C++ 
public: __property bool get_OptimizedHotkey();
public: __property void set_OptimizedHotkey( 
   bool value
);
C++/CLI 
public:
property bool OptimizedHotkey {
   bool get();
   void set (bool value);
}

Return Value

If true, HotKey processing uses a global system hook. Otherwise, normal hot key processing is performed.

Example

For an example, refer to ScreenCaptureEngine.

Remarks

Normally, when a capture function is called, the function enters a loop, and waits for the HotKey specified in nHotKey to be pressed, at which point it performs the capture. This loop can cause the CPU usage indicator to appear maxed out. Specifying the OptimizedHotkey property to be true will cause the capture method to return immediately (if a HotKey has been specified in Hotkey). In this case, a global system HotKey hook is established and used to wait for the HotKey to be pressed. When the HotKey is pressed, the capture is performed and the event handler is called with the results of the capture. Use this option only if the normal behavior is causing your application problems. This option is ignored in Win95/98/Me.

Requirements
