DeviceType Property

Example 





Gets the device type.
Syntax
public VCRControlDeviceType DeviceType {get;}
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property DeviceType As VCRControlDeviceType
'Usage
 
Dim instance As VCRControl
Dim value As VCRControlDeviceType
 
value = instance.DeviceType
public VCRControlDeviceType DeviceType {get;}
 get_DeviceType(); 
public:
property VCRControlDeviceType DeviceType {
   VCRControlDeviceType get();
}

Property Value

A VCRControlDeviceType value that represents the device type.
Remarks
Gets the device type. If the value is VCRControlDeviceType.NotPresent, the attached device does not support the VCR control. If the value is VCRControlDeviceType.Camera, the attached device only supports the Record and PauseRecording methods.
