capFileSaveAs

  • Article

The capFileSaveAs macro copies the contents of the capture file to another file. You can use this macro or explicitly call the WM_CAP_FILE_SAVEAS message.

BOOL capFileSaveAs(
  hwnd,  
  szName 
);

Parameters

hwnd

Handle to a capture window.

szName

Pointer to the null-terminated string that contains the name of the destination file used to copy the file.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.

If an error occurs and an error callback function is set using the capSetCallbackOnError macro, the error callback function is called.

Remarks

This message does not change the name or contents of the current capture file.

If the copy operation is unsuccessful due to a disk full error, the destination file is automatically deleted.

Typically, a capture file is preallocated for the largest capture segment anticipated and only a portion of it might be used to capture data. This message copies only the portion of the file containing the capture data.

Requirements

**  Windows NT/2000/XP:** Included in Windows NT 3.1 and later.
**  Windows 95/98/Me:** Included in Windows 95 and later.
**  Header:** Declared in Vfw.h.
