AutoBrightness Property

public bool AutoBrightness {get; set;}

public bool AutoBrightness {get; set;}

 get_AutoBrightness();
 set_AutoBrightness(value);

public:
property bool AutoBrightness {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

'Declaration
 
Public Property AutoBrightness As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As VideoProcAmp
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.AutoBrightness = value
 
value = instance.AutoBrightness

Property Value

true if the property is controlled automatically; false if it has been set to a manual value

If this property is true, the Brightness property is the current automatically controlled value. If this property is false, then the Brightness property returns the current manual value last set by the user.
