Name Property (Device)

Summary

Gets the device's unique name.

Syntax

C++

public string Name {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

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

Property Value

The device name.

Remarks

The returned string can be used to uniquely identify a compressor. A program can save this value to persistent storage and use it later with the Devices.IndexOf and Devices.Selection methods to restore the device's selection.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
 
public void DevicesExample()

   int selection; 
 
   // reference the capture control 
   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   // select a video device, use your device name here instead of Analog 
   if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["Analog"] == null) 
      throw new Exception("No Analog video tuner device available");
