CAPDRIVERCAPS

The CAPDRIVERCAPS structure defines the capabilities of the capture driver.

An application should use the WM_CAP_DRIVER_GET_CAPS message or capDriverGetCaps macro to place a copy of the driver capabilities in a CAPDRIVERCAPS structure whenever the application connects a capture window to a capture driver.

typedef struct { 
    UINT   wDeviceIndex; 
    BOOL   fHasOverlay; 
    BOOL   fHasDlgVideoSource; 
    BOOL   fHasDlgVideoFormat; 
    BOOL   fHasDlgVideoDisplay; 
    BOOL   fCaptureInitialized; 
    BOOL   fDriverSuppliesPalettes; 
    HANDLE hVideoIn; 
    HANDLE hVideoOut; 
    HANDLE hVideoExtIn; 
    HANDLE hVideoExtOut; 
} CAPDRIVERCAPS;
