capDlgVideoSource

  • Article

The capDlgVideoSource macro displays a dialog box in which the user can control the video source. The Video Source dialog box might contain controls that select input sources; alter the hue, contrast, brightness of the image; and modify the video quality before digitizing the images into the frame buffer. You can use this macro or explicitly send the WM_CAP_DLG_VIDEOSOURCE message.

BOOL capDlgVideoSource(
  hwnd  
);

Parameters

hwnd

Handle to a capture window.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

The Video Source dialog box is unique for each capture driver. Some capture drivers might not support a Video Source dialog box. Applications can determine if the capture driver supports this message by checking the fHasDlgVideoSource member of the CAPDRIVERCAPS structure.

Requirements

**  Windows NT/2000/XP:** Included in Windows NT 3.1 and later.
**  Windows 95/98/Me:** Included in Windows 95 and later.
**  Header:** Declared in Vfw.h.
