Name Property (CaptureInput)

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As CaptureInput
Dim value As String
 
value = instance.Name

public string Name {get;}

public:
property String^ Name {
   String^ get();
}

Property Value

the audio input name.

This property is used to uniquely identify the CaptureSubType object. This string is the same as the string in the FriendlyName property. A program can save this value to persistent storage and use it later with the CaptureInputs.IndexOf and Selection methods to restore the input selection.
