IltmmCapture::GetStillDIB

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax	HRESULT IltmmCapture_GetStillDIB(pCapture, TimeOut, phDIB)
C++ Syntax	HRESULT GetStillDIB(TimeOut, phDIB)

IltmmCapture *pCapture;	pointer to an interface
long TimeOut;	time out period
long *phDIB;	DIB handle

Retrieves a device independent bitmap during a ltmmCapture_Mode_Still capture.

Parameter	Description
pCapture	Pointer to an IltmmCapture interface.
TimeOut	Value containing the maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for the image.
phDIB	Pointer to a variable that receives the DIB handle.

Returns

S_OK	The function was successful.
<> S_OK	An error occurred. Refer to the Error Codes or the HRESULT error codes in the DirectShow documentation.

Comments

If the method succeeds, the caller must free the returned HDIB by calling the GlobalFree function.

The frame is captured from the position indicated by the StillTap property.

When capturing from the still pin, the capture happens when the user presses the hardware button for capturing the still image.
If there is not a hardware button or the user does not press it, the capture occurs after the timeout specified by the TimeOut parameter.

When not capturing from the still pin, the capture occurs after the amount of time specified by the TimeOut parameter.

If TimeOut is INFINITE, the function's time-out interval never elapses.
