)

'Declaration

Public Overridable Function GetPreferredMediaSourceHandler( _
   ByVal MediaSourceHandlerType As PreferredMediaSourceHandler _
) As String

'Usage

Dim instance As PlayCtrl
Dim MediaSourceHandlerType As PreferredMediaSourceHandler
Dim value As String
 
value = instance.GetPreferredMediaSourceHandler(MediaSourceHandlerType)

public:
virtual String^ GetPreferredMediaSourceHandler( 
   PreferredMediaSourceHandler MediaSourceHandlerType
)

Parameters

MediaSourceHandlerType: A PreferredMediaSourceHandler enumeration value specifying the desired media source handler type

Return Value

A string containing a media source handler's GUID.

This method can be used to determine whether a preferred media source handler has been set by SetPreferredMediaSourceHandler. It will return NULL (if no preferred media source handler has been set) or a GUID indicating the preferred media source handler.

This GUID uniquely identifies the media source handler. Every media format has one or registered media source handlers responsible of creating a media source for this media type.

For example, the GUID for the LEAD MPEG2 Transport Media Source Handler is: EFE626C3-0A2C-49FA-8A01-3768B559B6DA

A list of display names for common media source handlers can be found in Constants.PreferredMediaSourceHandlers.

Please see SetPreferredMediaSourceHandler for more information on media source handler display names.
