SaveSettingsToFile Method (CaptureCtrl)

Show in webframe
Example 



The file in which settings will be saved.
The settings flags specifying which settings to save. See the CaptureSettings enumeration for settings options.
Saves some or all of the capture object settings to a file.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Sub SaveSettingsToFile( _
   ByVal targetFile As String, _
   ByVal flags As CaptureSettings _
) 
'Usage
 
Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim targetFile As String
Dim flags As CaptureSettings
 
instance.SaveSettingsToFile(targetFile, flags)
public virtual void SaveSettingsToFile( 
   string targetFile,
   CaptureSettings flags
)
public:
virtual void SaveSettingsToFile( 
   String^ targetFile,
   CaptureSettings flags
) 

Parameters

targetFile
The file in which settings will be saved.
flags
The settings flags specifying which settings to save. See the CaptureSettings enumeration for settings options.
Remarks
The capture object settings can be saved to a stream by calling SaveSettingsToStream. Saved settings can be loaded using the LoadSettingsFromFile method or the LoadSettingsFromStream method. It may be helpful to call CanSaveObjectSettings before calling the save methods, to make sure the settings can be saved. If either CaptureCtrl.SaveSettingsToFile or CaptureCtrl.SaveSettingsToStream is called for settings that cannot be saved, the save method will fail.
