HorizontalLocked Property

Summary
Gets a value that indicates whether horizontal sync is locked.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
public bool HorizontalLocked { get; } 
public: 
property bool HorizontalLocked { 
   bool get(); 
} 

Property Value

true if horizontal sync is locked; false, otherwise.

Remarks

This property is updated automatically with a value that indicates whether the horizontal sync is locked. Horizontal sync is a mechanism used to determine where the beginning of the new scan line is.

For more detailed information, refer to the Microsoft documentation for IAMAnalogVideoDecoder.get_HorizontalLocked.
