ReadyCapture Method

public virtual void ReadyCapture( 
   CaptureMode lMode
)

'Declaration

Public Overridable Sub ReadyCapture( _
   ByVal lMode As CaptureMode _
)

'Usage

Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim lMode As CaptureMode
 
instance.ReadyCapture(lMode)

public:
virtual void ReadyCapture( 
   CaptureMode lMode
)

Parameters

lMode: The CaptureMode capture mode to set.

Prepares the capture graph for running. This is an optional method that performs time consuming initialization, allowing immediate execution with CaptureCtrl.StartCapture. If this method is used, it must be called prior to calling CaptureCtrl.StartCapture. However, you may call CaptureCtrl.StartCapture without calling CaptureCtrl.ReadyCapture, but capturing will not begin immediately. Places the object in the CaptureState.Pending state. If the method fails, an error is raised. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
