Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.MediaFoundation; 
using LeadtoolsMediaFoundationExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
public CaptureCtrl _capturectrl; 
public double _totalTime; 
 
public void ErrorAbortExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   _capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   // output file 
   string outFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "CaptureCtrl_ErrorAbortTest.avi"); 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set a test timer to interrupt the capture 
      _form.TestTimer.Interval = 5000; 
      _form.TestTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(TestTimer_Tick); 
      _form.TestTimer.Start(); 
 
      // initialize the total capture time 
      _totalTime = 0; 
 
      // subscribe to the ErrorAbort event 
      _capturectrl.ErrorAbort += new ErrorAbortEventHandler(CaptureCtrl_ErrorAbort); 
 
      // subscribe to the event 
      _capturectrl.Progress += new ProgressEventHandler(CaptureCtrl_Progress); 
 
      // set a video device, use the name of your device here 
      if (_capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available"); 
 
      _capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // set an audio device, use the name of your device here 
      _capturectrl.AudioDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // set the target output file 
      _capturectrl.TargetFile = outFile; 
 
      // only 10 seconds of capture time 
      _capturectrl.TimeLimit = 10; 
      _capturectrl.UseTimeLimit = true; 
 
      // capture it now! 
      _capturectrl.StartCapture(CaptureMode.AutoFramesAndAudio); 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   } 
 
   // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
   // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application. 
   while (_capturectrl.State == CaptureState.Running) 
      Application.DoEvents(); 
} 
 
public void TestTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
   // stop the capture 
   _capturectrl.StopCapture(); 
} 
 
public void CaptureCtrl_Progress(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e) 
{ 
   _totalTime = _capturectrl.CaptureTime; 
} 
 
public void CaptureCtrl_ErrorAbort(object sender, ErrorAbortEventArgs e) 
{ 
   // set result 
   _result = true; 
}
