SaveStillBitmap Method

Summary

Saves a snapshot from the running stream to a file as a bitmap.

Syntax

C++

public virtual void SaveStillBitmap( 
   string fileName, 
   StillFormatType format, 
   int quality, 
   int flags, 
   int timeOut 
)

Public Overridable Sub SaveStillBitmap( _ 
   ByVal fileName As String, _ 
   ByVal format As Leadtools.Mediafoundation.StillFormatType, _ 
   ByVal quality As Integer, _ 
   ByVal flags As Integer, _ 
   ByVal timeOut As Integer _ 
)

public: 
virtual void SaveStillBitmap(  
   String^ fileName, 
   Leadtools.Mediafoundation.StillFormatType format, 
   int quality, 
   int flags, 
   int timeOut 
)

Parameters

fileName
A string containing the name of the file to which to save the bitmap.

format
A StillFormatType Value that represents the output file format.

quality
Value that represents the compression quality. For a list of possible values, refer to Compression Quality Factors. For the StillFormatType.CMP file format only, you can use the StillQuality enumeration values.

flags
Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

timeOut
The timeout period in milliseconds. The method fails if it is not able to take a sample within the specified time period. Use -1 to wait indefinitely until a sample is captured.

Remarks

This method does not return until the timeout occurs or the sample is captured.
