GetPreferredFilter Method (CaptureCtrl)

Summary

Retrieves the preferred filter's Display Name set using the SetPreferredFilter method.

Syntax

C++

public virtual string GetPreferredFilter(  
   Leadtools.Multimedia.PreferredFilter filterType 
)

Public Overridable Function GetPreferredFilter( _ 
   ByVal filterType As Leadtools.Multimedia.PreferredFilter _ 
) As String

public: 
virtual String^ GetPreferredFilter(  
   Leadtools.Multimedia.PreferredFilter filterType 
)

Parameters

filterType
A PreferredFilter enumeration value specifying the desired filter type

Return Value

A string containing a filter's display name.

Remarks

This method can be used to determine whether a preferred filter has been set by SetPreferredFilter. It will return NULL (if no preferred filter has been set) or a display name indicating the preferred filter. A display name uniquely identifies the filter. Display names have the following format:

@device:sw:GUID\GUID

For example, the display name for the LEAD MPEG2 Transport Demultiplexer is: @device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{E2B7DF1A-38C5-11D5-91F6-00104BDB8FF9}

A list of display names for common filters can be found in Constants.PreferredFilters.

Please see SetPreferredFilter for more information on filter display names.
