EditGraph Method

Summary

Registers the current graph and runs the DirectShow GraphEdit utility.

Syntax

C++

public virtual void EditGraph()

Public Overridable Sub EditGraph()

public: 
virtual void EditGraph();

Remarks

This method will display a modal dialog box indicating that the graph has been registered. The current thread is suspended during this time. The toolkit then attempts to invoke the GraphEdit utility from the DirectShow SDK. You can use GraphEdit's "Connect" menu option to view the registered graph. When done, exit GraphEdit, and click on the dialog's OK button to continue program execution.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
public CaptureCtrl _capturectrl; 
 
public void EditGraphExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   _capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   // output file names 
   string outFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "CaptureCtrl_EditGraphExample.mpg"); 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set the source video device, select using your device name here 
      if (_capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available");
