public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
 
public void RunCaptureExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
   string outFile = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.MediaDir, "CaptureCtrl_RunCaptureExample.avi"); 
 
   try

         capturectrl.RunCapture(); 
 
         // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
         // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application.
