SourceFormat Property

Summary

Gets the format of the current source media file.

Syntax

C++

public SourceFormatType SourceFormat { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property SourceFormat As SourceFormatType

public: 
property SourceFormatType SourceFormat { 
   SourceFormatType get(); 
}

Property Value

A SourceFormatType value representing the media source file format.

Remarks

The value is one of the SourceFormatType enumerations. This property is updated automatically when the SourceFile property is set. The descriptive name for the format is found in the SourceFormatName property. The current source media file is found in the SourceFile property. This is the file that the MediaInfo object gets information for. The SourceFile property must be set before retrieving information from any of the other MediaInfo properties. Call the ResetSource method to release the source file when it is no longer needed.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public PlayCtrlForm _form = new PlayCtrlForm(); 
public bool _result = false; 
 
public void ResetSourceExample() 
{ 
   // reference the play control 
   PlayCtrl playctrl = _form.PlayCtrl; 
 
   // input file 
   string inFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "MediaInfo_Source.avi"); 
   string info = string.Empty; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // create a new media info object 
      MediaInfo mi = new MediaInfo(); 
 
      // set the input and output files
