Gets or sets the current mode of a multifunction tuner.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property Mode As TunerModeType
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As TVTuner
Dim value As TunerModeType
 
instance.Mode = value
 
value = instance.Mode
C# 
public TunerModeType Mode {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
public:
property TunerModeType Mode {
   TunerModeType get();
   void set (    TunerModeType value);
}

Property Value

A TunerModeType enumeration value indicating the current mode. To determine the modes available on the installed tuner, use the AvailableModes property. For more detailed information, refer to the Microsoft documentation for IAMTuner.get_Mode.

Public _result As Boolean = False
Public _form As CaptureCtrlForm = New CaptureCtrlForm()
Public Sub AvailableModesExample()
   ' reference the forms capture control and tv tuner

      ' get the TV Tuner device
      Dim tvtuner As TVTuner = capturectrl.TVTuner

      ' Check if TV tuner is valid
      If Not tvtuner Is Nothing Then

   Catch e1 As Exception
      _result = False
   End Try

   ' we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example.
   ' but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application.
   Do While capturectrl.State = CaptureState.Running
