TargetObject Property

Summary
Gets or sets the media target object.
Syntax
C#
VB
C++
public virtual object TargetObject { get; set; } 
Public Overridable Property TargetObject As Object 
public: 
virtual property Object^ TargetObject { 
   Object^ get(); 
   void set (    Object^ ); 
} 

Property Value

An object representing a COM target interface.

Remarks

This property allows the user to assign a COM object as the media target for the capturing process. The object may be the SampleTarget object or any other DirectShow renderer filter. The ResetTarget method should be called to stop the capture control from accessing the object. The TargetType will be set to TargetObjectType.Object. Assignment can raise an error exception. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
