'Declaration

Public Overridable Sub SaveStillDIB( _
   ByVal fileName As String, _
   ByVal timeOut As Integer _
)

'Usage

Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim fileName As String
Dim timeOut As Integer
 
instance.SaveStillDIB(fileName, timeOut)

public:
virtual void SaveStillDIB( 
   String^ fileName,
   int timeOut
)

Parameters

fileName: A string that represents the filename to save the DIB to.
timeOut: The timeout period in milliseconds. This method fails if it is not able to take the DIB in the specified time. Use -1 to wait infinitely until a DIB is snapped.
