CanSaveObjectSettings Method

Summary

Determines whether the specified settings can be saved.

Syntax

C++

public virtual bool CanSaveObjectSettings( 
   CaptureSettings flags 
)

Public Overridable Function CanSaveObjectSettings( _ 
   ByVal flags As Leadtools.Multimedia.CaptureSettings _ 
) As Boolean

public: 
virtual bool CanSaveObjectSettings(  
   Leadtools.Multimedia.CaptureSettings flags 
)

Parameters

flags
A combination of CaptureSettings enumeration values.

Remarks

The capture object settings can be saved to a stream by calling SaveSettingsToStream. These settings can also be saved to a file by calling SaveSettingsToFile. Settings saved to a file can be loaded using LoadSettingsFromFile. Settings saved to a stream can be loaded using LoadSettingsFromStream. It may be helpful to call CanSaveObjectSettings before calling either SaveSettingsToFile or SaveSettingsToStream, to make sure the settings you want to save can be saved. If either SaveSettingsToFile or SaveSettingsToStream is called for settings that cannot be saved, the save function will fail. Multiple settings can be combined in the Flags parameter.

Note: If multiple settings are combined in the flags parameter, all those settings must be capable of being saved in order for this method to return true.
