capControlCallback
The capControlCallback function is the callback function used for precision control to begin and end streaming capture. The name capControlCallback is a placeholder for the application-supplied function name.
To set the callback, send the WM_CAP_SET_CALLBACK_CAPCONTROL message to the capture window or call the capSetCallbackOnCapControl macro.
LRESULT CALLBACK capControlCallback(
HWND hWnd,
int nState
);
Parameters
hWnd
Handle to the capture window associated with the callback function.
nState
Current state of the capture operation. The CONTROLCALLBACK_PREROLL value is sent initially to enable prerolling of the video sources and to return control to the capture application at the exact moment recording is to begin. The CONTROLCALLBACK_CAPTURING value is sent once per captured frame to indicate that streaming capture is in progress and to enable the application to end capture.
Return Values
When nState is set to CONTROLCALLBACK_PREROLL, this callback function must return TRUE to start capture or FALSE to abort it. When nState is set to CONTROLCALLBACK_CAPTURING, this callback function must return TRUE to continue capture or FALSE to end it.
Remarks
The first message sent to the callback procedure sets the nState parameter to CONTROLCALLBACK_PREROLL after allocating all buffers and all other capture preparations are complete.
