PauseCapture Method

Summary

Pauses the capture control.

Syntax

C++

public virtual void PauseCapture()

Public Overridable Sub PauseCapture()

public: 
virtual void PauseCapture();

Remarks

Places the object in the CaptureState.Paused state. The object must be in the CaptureState.Pending or CaptureState.Running state prior to calling this method. To resume capturing, call the RunCapture method. If the method fails, an error is raised. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.

Example

public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm();
