GetPreferredFilter Method

Summary

Retrieves the preferred filter's Display Name set using the SetPreferredFilter method.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public virtual string GetPreferredFilter( 
   PreferredFilter filterType 
)

public: 
virtual String^ GetPreferredFilter(  
   PreferredFilter filterType 
)

Parameters

filterType
A PreferredFilter enumeration value specifying the desired filter type.

Return Value

A string containing a filter's display name.

Remarks

This method can be used to determine whether a preferred filter has been set by SetPreferredFilter. It will return NULL (if no preferred filter has been set), or a display name indicating the preferred filter. A display name uniquely identifies the filter. Display names have the following format:

@device:sw:GUID\GUID

For example, the display name for the LEAD MPEG2 Transport Demultiplexer is: @device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{E2B7DF1A-38C5-11D5-91F6-00104BDB8FF9}

A list of display names for common filters can be found in Constants.PreferredFilters.

Please see SetPreferredFilter for more information on filter display names.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public ConvertCtrlForm _form = new ConvertCtrlForm(); 
 
public void ConverterPreferredFiltersExample() 
{ 
   ConvertCtrl convertCtrl = _form.ConvertCtrl; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set the preferred ISO Demultiplexer to the LEAD default (which is the LEAD ISO Demultiplexer) 
      convertCtrl.SetPreferredFilter(PreferredFilter.ISODemultiplexer, Constants.PreferredFilters.LEADDefault); 
 
      // the default ISO Demultiplexer should be the LEAD ISO Demultiplexer now 
      // filter names are not case sensitive, so ignore case in the compare 
      _result = (string.Compare(convertCtrl.GetPreferredFilter(PreferredFilter.ISODemultiplexer), 
                 Constants.PreferredFilters.ISODemultiplexer, true) == 0); 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   } 
}
