Available Property

Summary

Indicates whether the target format is available.

Syntax

C++

public bool Available {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property Available() As Boolean 
   Get

public:  
   property bool Available 
   { 
      bool get() 
   }

Property Value

true indicates the target format is available; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Target format availability depends on the media sinks and multiplexers that are registered in your system. Microsoft Media Foundation components vary with the operating system version. Use this property to determine if the required components are installed.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.MediaFoundation; 
using LeadtoolsMediaFoundationExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
 
public void TargetFormatsExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set the video capture device, use your capture device name here 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // set the audio capture device, use your capture device name here

      capturectrl.AudioDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // select the MP4 target format
