EnableStillCapture Property

Summary

Gets the value indicating whether still images can be captured during conversion.

Syntax

C#
VB
C++
public virtual bool EnableStillCapture { get; set; } 
Public Overridable Property EnableStillCapture As Boolean 
public: 
virtual property bool EnableStillCapture { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
} 

Property Value

true if still images can be captured during conversion; false, otherwise.

Remarks

The default value for this property is false. To capture still images during conversion, the user must set the value of this property to true before calling the SaveStillBitmap method. Use the StillCaptureLimit property to get or set the time limit, in milliseconds, for capturing a still image. Use the SaveStillBitmap method to save a bitmap snapshot from the running stream to a file.

Example

C#
VB
