IltmmCapture::put_CaptureStillDelay

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax	HRESULT IltmmCapture_put_CaptureStillDelay(pCapture, Delay)
C++ Syntax	HRESULT put_CaptureStillDelay(Delay)

 

IltmmCapture *pCapture;	/* pointer to an interface */
long Delay;	/* time delay value */

Sets the time delay, in milliseconds, before capturing a DIB or a Picture.

Parameter	Description
pCapture	Pointer to an IltmmCapture interface.
Delay	Value that represents the time delay, in milliseconds. The default value is zero.

Returns

S_OK	The function was successful.
<> S_OK	An error occurred. Refer to the Error Codes or the HRESULT error codes in the DirectShow documentation.

Comments

This property affects the amount of time it takes to capture a still image using the IltmmCapture::CaptureDIB and IltmmCapture::CapturePicture.
The meaning of the property is affected by the StillTap property:

• When capturing from the still pin, the capture happens when the user presses the hardware button for capturing the still image. If there is not a hardware button or the user doesn't press it, the capture occurs after the timeout specified by this function.

• When not capturing from the still pin, the capture occurs after the amount of time specified by this function. IltmmCapture::CaptureDIB and IltmmCapture::CapturePicture wait the amount of time set by this function before grabbing a sample. Using the time delay is beneficial when using a capture device that creates poor quality frames when it first starts capturing.

To get the current time delay, call IltmmCapture::get_CaptureStillDelay.
