Leadtools.Multimedia Namespace > Compressors Class : Selection Property



Gets or sets the zero-based index of the selected Compressor item.

Syntax

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

Property Value

The zero-based index of the selected item; or -1 if no item is selected.

Remarks

Playing audio or video data requires a decompressor. Note: For MPEG2 streams containing H.264 or AAC encoded data, LEAD H264 or LEAD AAC transcoders may be used to convert to ISO.

Assignment could raise an error exception. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7
