AutoScrub Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the object will automatically force a frame to the renderer while stopped.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public virtual bool AutoScrub { get; set; }

public: 
virtual property bool AutoScrub { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
}

Property Value

true if the object will automatically force a frame to the renderer while stopped; otherwise, false. The default value is true.

Remarks

Setting this property to false guarantees that no data will be processed when the source is assigned. This makes it possible to install callbacks without missing any data. Call Scrub when you are ready to acquire a poster frame.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public PlayCtrlForm _form = new PlayCtrlForm(); 
double _duration = 0.0; 
double _currentPos = -1; 
public void PlayExample() 
{ 
   // reference the play control 
   PlayCtrl playctrl = _form.PlayCtrl; 
 
   // input file 
   string inFile =Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir,"PlayCtrl_Source.avi"); 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set autoscrub to false 
      playctrl.AutoScrub = false; 
 
      // set autostart to false 
      playctrl.AutoStart = false; 
 
      // set our source media file 
      playctrl.SourceFile = inFile; 
 
      // this is the location where you can safely install callbacks 
 
      // force a poster frame if wanted 
      playctrl.Scrub(); 
 
      // get the reported duration 
      _duration = playctrl.Duration; 
 
      // set event handler to get tracking position changes 
      playctrl.TrackingPositionChanged += new TrackingPositionChangedEventHandler(PlayCtrl_TrackingPositionChanged); 
 
      // run it! 
      playctrl.Run(); 
   } 
   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 (playctrl.State == PlayState.Running) 
      Application.DoEvents(); 
 
   // set the result to determine if the reported duration 
   // is the same as the final position from tracking 
   _result = (_duration == _currentPos && _duration > 0.0); 
} 
 
void PlayCtrl_TrackingPositionChanged(object sender, TrackingPositionChangedEventArgs e) 
{ 
   // get the frame and tracking positions for demonstration only 
   int frame = _form.PlayCtrl.CurrentFramePosition; 
   int tracking = _form.PlayCtrl.CurrentTrackingPosition; 
 
   // get the current position 
   _currentPos = Math.Max(_currentPos, _form.PlayCtrl.CurrentPosition); 
}
