IAMExtDevice::get_DevicePower

The get_DevicePower method retrieves the external device's power mode.

Syntax

  HRESULT get_DevicePower(
  long *pPowerMode
);

Parameters

pPowerMode

[out]  Pointer to a long integer that receives one of the following values, indicating the device's power mode.

Value Description
ED_POWER_OFF Power is off.
ED_POWER_ON Power if on.
ED_POWER_STANDBY Device is in standby mode.

Return Values

When this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise it returns an HRESULT error code.

DV and MPEG Camcorder Implementation

The MSDV and UVC drivers return ED_POWER_ON when the camcorder is on. If the camcorder is off or in standby mode, the DV driver is not loaded, so this method is not available. If the camcorder is removed unexpectedly, the method can return ERROR_GEN_FAILURE.

MSTape supports both ED_POWER_OFF and ED_POWER_ON, but not ED_POWER_STANDBY.

Windows XP Service Pack 2

In Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later, the following additional power mode is defined.

Value Description
ED_POWER_DEVICE_DEPENDENT Power is on with limited functions.
