SourceStream Property

Summary

Gets or sets the media source stream.

Syntax

C++

public virtual Stream SourceStream { get; set; }

Public Overridable Property SourceStream As Stream

public: 
virtual property Stream^ SourceStream { 
   Stream^ get(); 
   void set (    Stream^ ); 
}

Property Value

A System.IO.Stream object for the media source stream.

Remarks

Use this property to assign a Stream-derived object as the media source for the conversion process. The SourceType will be set to SourceObjectType.Stream. Assignment can raise an error exception. For more information, refer to the Error Codes. Note: When setting this property, the Play control must be in the stopped state.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.MediaFoundation; 
using LeadtoolsMediaFoundationExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public PlayCtrlForm _form = new PlayCtrlForm(); 
 
public void SourceStreamExample() 
{ 
   // reference the play control 
   PlayCtrl playctrl = _form.PlayCtrl; 
 
   // input and output file names 
   string inFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "PlayCtrl_Source.avi"); 
 
   try 
   { 
      // turn off auto start 
      playctrl.AutoStart = false; 
 
      // set event handler 
      playctrl.StateChanged += new StateChangedEventHandler(PlayCtrl_StateChanged); 
 
      // set the source stream
