  • Article

The capSetVideoFormat macro sets the format of captured video data. You can use this macro or explicitly call the WM_CAP_SET_VIDEOFORMAT message.

  hwnd,           
  psVideoFormat,  
  wSize           
);

Parameters

hwnd

Handle to a capture window.

psVideoFormat

Pointer to a BITMAPINFO structure.

wSize

Size, in bytes, of the structure referenced by s.

Because video formats are device-specific, applications should check the return value from this function to determine if the format is accepted by the driver.
