value = instance.VideoCaptureFormats
public virtual VideoFormats VideoCaptureFormats {get;}
public:
virtual property VideoFormats^ VideoCaptureFormats {
   VideoFormats^ get();
}

Property Value

A VideoFormats object.
Remarks
The VideoFormats indexer obtains a VideoFormat object for each of the supported video formats. The VideoFormat properties of each video format contain information about the specific video format.
