BPCDeviceBase.MinMaxChannel

The MinMaxChannel method returns the numbers of the lowest and highest channels supported by a device. Visual Basic syntax is shown.

object.MinMaxChannel( lChannelMin, lChannelMax )

Parts

object

Object expression that resolves to a BPCDeviceBase object.

lChannelMin

Long that receives the number of the lowest channel the device supports.

lChannelMax

Long that receives the number of the highest channel the device supports.

Remarks

In the current version of Broadcast Architecture, MinMaxChannel only supports television tuners. If your application calls MinMaxChannel for another type of device, such as a satellite tuner card, the current implementation of MinMaxChannel returns an error code.

The minimum and maximum channels returned by this method are the same as the values returned by the IAMTVTuner::ChannelsMinMax method of DirectShow.

  Windows NT/2000: Unsupported.
  Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 98.
