Syntax
public virtual int CaptureStillDelay {get; set;}
'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property CaptureStillDelay As Integer
'Usage
 
Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.CaptureStillDelay = value
 
value = instance.CaptureStillDelay
public virtual int CaptureStillDelay {get; set;}
 get_CaptureStillDelay();
set_CaptureStillDelay(value);
public:
virtual property int CaptureStillDelay {
   int get();
   void set (    int value);
}

Property Value

A value representing the capture time delay in milliseconds.
Remarks
Call the CaptureDIB or CaptureImage methods to capture a still image using this capture time delay after the capture graph is started.
