capDriverGetCaps

The capDriverGetCaps macro returns the hardware capabilities of the capture driver currently connected to a capture window. You can use this macro or explicitly send the WM_CAP_DRIVER_GET_CAPS message.

capDriverGetCaps(
  hwnd,    
  psCaps,  
  wSize    
);
 

Parameters

hwnd

Handle of a capture window.

wSize

Size, in bytes, of the structure referenced by s.

psCaps

Address of the CAPDRIVERCAPS structure to contain the hardware capabilities.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE if the capture window is not connected to a capture driver.

Remarks

The capabilities returned in CAPDRIVERCAPS are constant for a given capture driver. Applications need to retrieve this information once when the capture driver is first connected to a capture window.
