using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.MediaFoundation; 
using LeadtoolsMediaFoundationExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(false); 
 
public void EnterEditExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   // output file names 
   string outFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "CaptureCtrl_EnterEditExample.mpg"); 
 
   try 
   { 
      // enter edit mode so that all graph changes will be  
      // made at one time (after the LeaveEdit call later) 
      capturectrl.EnterEdit(); 
 
      // set the source video device, select using your device name here 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
 
      // set the target file 
      capturectrl.TargetFile = outFile; 
 
      capturectrl.FrameRate = 5;       // 5 frames per second  
      capturectrl.UseFrameRate = true; 
      capturectrl.TimeLimit = 10;      // just 10 seconds of capture time 
      capturectrl.UseTimeLimit = true; 
 
      // apply the graph changes now 
      capturectrl.LeaveEdit(); 
 
      // run the capture 
      capturectrl.StartCapture(CaptureMode.Video); 
 
      // set the result 
      _result = true; 
   } 
   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(); 
}
