Example 



This property is updated with a string that represents the GUID of the source video type.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property SubTypeName As String
'Usage
 
Dim instance As VideoFormat
Dim value As String
 
value = instance.SubTypeName
public string SubTypeName {get;}
public:
property String^ SubTypeName {
   String^ get();
}

Property Value

A string that represents the GUID of the source video type.
Remarks

This property is one of the properties that gets updated by the VideoFormats indexer. This property updated with a string that represents the GUID of the source video type. For a list of video types, refer to the Media Subtypes section of Format Types, Media Types and Media Subtypes. The CaptureCtrl.VideoCaptureFormats property is updated with a VideoFormats object that contains all of the video formats available for the current capture device. The VideoFormats indexer obtains a VideoFormat object for each of the supported video formats. The VideoFormat properties of each VideoFormat object, obtained using the VideoFormats indexer, are updated with information about that specific video format. This information includes the following information:

The VideoFormat.SubTypeFriendlyName property is updated with the friendly name of the video format type.
