The following table lists the members exposed by the object.

Events

Event Description
Disposing Occurs when the Dispose method is called or when the CompressorEffect object is finalized and collected by the garbage collector of the Microsoft .NET common language runtime.

Fields

Field Description
static (Shared in Visual Basic) AttackMax Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Attack property.
static (Shared in Visual Basic) AttackMin Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Attack property.
static (Shared in Visual Basic) GainMax Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Gain property.
static (Shared in Visual Basic) GainMin Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Gain property.
static (Shared in Visual Basic) PreDelayMax Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.PreDelay property.

Methods

Method Description
CompressorEffect Initializes a new instance of the CompressorEffect class. This method supports the .NET Framework Infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly in your code.
Dispose Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by the CompressorEffect object.
Equals Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object.
Finalize Allows the CompressorEffect object to free resources before it is destroyed by the garbage collector.
GetHashCode Returns the hash code for the current instance.
GetObjectByValue This member supports the infrastructure for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
static (Shared in Visual Basic) op_Equality Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same.
static (Shared in Visual Basic) op_Inequality Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different.
raise_Disposing Raises the CompressorEffect.Disposing event when called from within a derived class.

Properties

Property Description
AllParameters Retrieves or sets compression parameters of a SecondaryBuffer object.
Disposed Gets a value that indicates whether the object is disposed.

Add Effects to a SecondaryBuffer Object

This C# example demonstrates how to add effect objects to a SecondaryBuffer object.

              [C#]
              
//Create and setup the sound device.
Device dev = new Device();
dev.SetCooperativeLevel(this,CooperativeLevel.Normal);

//Create and setup the buffer description.
BufferDescription buffer_desc = new BufferDescription();
buffer_desc.ControlEffects = true; //this has to be true to use effects.
buffer_desc.GlobalFocus = true; //play sound even if application loses focus.

//Create and setup the buffer for playing the sound.
SecondaryBuffer buffer = new SecondaryBuffer(
    @"C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav", 
    buffer_desc, 
    dev);

//Create an array of effects descriptions, 
//set the effect objects to echo and chorus and 
//set it in the buffer.
EffectDescription[] effects = new EffectDescription[2];
effects[0].GuidEffectClass = DSoundHelper.StandardEchoGuid;
effects[1].GuidEffectClass = DSoundHelper.StandardChorusGuid;
buffer.SetEffects(effects);

//Play Buffer.
buffer.Play(0,BufferPlayFlags.Default);
