Examples

In the following example, 3 is the identifier for the "Analog Cable TV" tuning space and vid is an instance of the Video control. The call to TSDeviceCount counts the number of devices that support the analog cable tuning space; for example, an ATI All-in-Wonder tuner card might support this space. The example then stores the number of devices in the variable numDevices.

Dim numDevices As Long
numDevices = vid.TSDeviceCount(3)
