Type Property

Summary

Gets a CLSID string that indicates the major type of the multimedia in the stream.

Syntax

C++

public string Type { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Type As String

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

Property Value

Valid values are as follows:

Type	String
Video	MEDIATYPE_Video
Autio	MEDIATYPE_Audio
Script	MEDIATYPE_Text

Remarks

Gets a CLSID string that indicates the major type of the multimedia in the stream. For a complete list of supported formats, see Format Types, Media Types and Media Subtypes. Please note that while the Formats, Media Types and Media Subtypes lists numerous media types, currently only the MediaType_Video, MediaType_Audio, and MediaType_Text are used here. For more information, refer to the Microsoft documentation for IWMMediaProps.GetType.
