Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property FrameRate As Double

'Usage
 
Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim value As Double
 
instance.FrameRate = value
 
value = instance.FrameRate

public virtual double FrameRate {get; set;}

public:
virtual property double FrameRate {
   double get();
   void set (    double value);
}

Property Value

A value representing the user defined frame rate.

Remarks

The FrameRate property is only used if the UseFrameRate property is set to true. Assignment can raise an error exception. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
