capPreview

The capPreview macro enables or disables preview mode. In preview mode, frames are transferred from the capture hardware to system memory and then displayed in the capture window using GDI functions. You can use this macro or explicitly call the WM_CAP_SET_PREVIEW message.

BOOL capPreview(
  hwnd,  
  f      
);

Parameters

hwnd

Handle to a capture window.

f

Preview flag. Specify TRUE for this parameter to enable preview mode or FALSE to disable it.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

The preview mode uses substantial CPU resources. Applications can disable preview or lower the preview rate when another application has the focus. The fLiveWindow member of the CAPSTATUS structure indicates if preview mode is currently enabled.

Enabling preview mode automatically disables overlay mode.

Requirements

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