Summary

Gets a copy of the connected media type.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public MediaType GetConnectedMediaType()

public: 
MediaType^ GetConnectedMediaType();

Return Value

A MediaType object that represents the actual media type of the samples that will be delivered.

Remarks

The returned value represents the actual media type of the samples that will be delivered. For more information on accepted versus connected media types, refer to GetAcceptedMediaType method. If the method fails, an error is raised. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.

Example

using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false;

   // reference the convert control

   // This example demonstrates how to play a capture stream  
   // using a play control and portable media types. 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set the source device 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null)
