Show in webframe
Example 



The capture mode that the availability is to be checked.
Specifies whether the specified capture mode is available.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Function IsModeAvailable( _
   ByVal mode As CaptureMode _
) As Boolean
'Usage
 
Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim mode As CaptureMode
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.IsModeAvailable(mode)
public virtual bool IsModeAvailable( 
   CaptureMode mode
)
public:
virtual bool IsModeAvailable( 
   CaptureMode mode
) 

Parameters

mode
The capture mode that the availability is to be checked.

Return Value

true if the capture mode is available; otherwise it is false.
Remarks
This method is useful for determining whether all the components necessary for a particular capture mode have been initialized. The mode parameter must be one of the CaptureMode enumeration values.

If the method fails an error is raised. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
