capPreviewRate
The capPreviewRate macro sets the frame display rate in preview mode. You can use this macro or explicitly call the WM_CAP_SET_PREVIEWRATE message.
BOOL capPreviewRate(
hwnd,
wMS
);
Parameters
hwnd
Handle to a capture window.
wMS
Rate, in milliseconds, at which new frames are captured and displayed.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE if the capture window is not connected to a capture driver.
Remarks
The preview mode uses substantial CPU resources. Applications can disable preview or lower the preview rate when another application has the focus. During streaming video capture, the previewing task is lower priority than writing frames to disk, and preview frames are displayed only if no other buffers are available for writing.
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.
