GetCacheObject Method

Summary

Gets the caching filter object.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public object GetCacheObject( 
   TargetFormatObject ObjType 
)

public: 
Object^ GetCacheObject(  
   TargetFormatObject ObjType 
)

Parameters

ObjType
Value that indicates which caching object to retrieve. This must be one of the TargetFormatObject constants.

Return Value

A System.Object of the type specified by the TargetFormatObject and represents the caching filter object.

Remarks

Use the UseFilterCache property to get a value that indicates whether the toolkit is currently caching filters, or set a value that indicates whether to enable or disable the caching of filters. Use the ShowCacheDialog method to display a specific property dialog for the caching filter. Use the HasCacheDialog method to query whether the specified property dialog for the caching filter is available.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
public LMMpg2MxTLib.LMMpg2MxT _pMpgMux; 
 
// This example will show you the correct way to set up a muxer's properties during capture 
// Normally, the muxer is added only after the capture graph has been build with ReadyCapture or StartCapture 
// But at this point, the graph is in running mode, so some muxer operations might fail 
// If you need to make changes to the muxer in stopped state (like adding KLV data stream, for example), 
// then you need to change the muxer before the graph is fully built. You can do so by instructing the toolkit 
// to cache the target filters by setting the TargetFormat.UseFilterCache property to true 
// In this situation, the filters used to implement a certain target format are created and used whenever  
// you set that target format. 
// 
// This example will show you how to add KLV data to a MPEG-2 Transport Stream in a capture situation. 
public void UseFilterCacheExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control
