CameraControl Property

Summary

Gets the camera control object exposed by the video input device.

Syntax

C++

public virtual Leadtools.Multimedia.CameraControl CameraControl {get;}

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property CameraControl As Leadtools.Multimedia.CameraControl

public: 
virtual property Leadtools.Multimedia.CameraControl^ CameraControl { 
   Leadtools.Multimedia.CameraControl^ get(); 
}

Property Value

A CameraControl object.

Remarks

The CameraControl interface is used to control device properties such as zoom, tilt, iris, etc. Note: Not all devices expose this interface. Therefore, this property may be null for those devices without a camera control interface.

For more information, refer to the CameraControl object.

public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm();
