Members Table

The following table lists the members exposed by the object.

Events

Event	Description
Disposing	Occurs when the Dispose method is called or when the CompressorEffect object is finalized and collected by the garbage collector of the Microsoft .NET common language runtime.

Fields

Field	Description
AttackMax	Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Attack property.
AttackMin	Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Attack property.
GainMax	Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Gain property.
GainMin	Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Gain property.
PreDelayMax	Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.PreDelay property.
PreDelayMin	Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.PreDelay property.
RatioMax	Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Ratio property.
RatioMin	Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Ratio property.
ReleaseMax	Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Release property.
ReleaseMin	Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Release property.
ThresholdMax	Retrieves the maximum value for the EffectsCompression.Threshold property.
ThresholdMin	Retrieves the minimum value for the EffectsCompression.Threshold property.

Methods

Method	Description
CompressorEffect	Initializes a new instance of the CompressorEffect class. This method supports the .NET Framework Infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly in your code.
Dispose	Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by the CompressorEffect object.
Equals	Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object.
Finalize	Allows the CompressorEffect object to free resources before it is destroyed by the garbage collector.
GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for the current instance.
GetObjectByValue	This member supports the infrastructure for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
op_Equality	Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same.
op_Inequality	Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different.
raise_Disposing	Raises the CompressorEffect.Disposing event when called from within a derived class.

Properties

Property	Description
AllParameters	Retrieves or sets compression parameters of a SecondaryBuffer object.
Disposed	Gets a value that indicates whether the object is disposed.

Add Effects to a SecondaryBuffer Object

This C# example demonstrates how to add effect objects to a SecondaryBuffer object.

              [C#]
              
//Create and setup the sound device.
Device dev = new Device();
dev.SetCooperativeLevel(this,CooperativeLevel.Normal);

//Create and setup the buffer description.
BufferDescription buffer_desc = new BufferDescription();
buffer_desc.ControlEffects = true; //this has to be true to use effects.
buffer_desc.GlobalFocus = true; //play sound even if application loses focus.

//Create and setup the buffer for playing the sound.
SecondaryBuffer buffer = new SecondaryBuffer(
    @"C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav", 
    buffer_desc, 
    dev);

//Create an array of effects descriptions, 
//set the effect objects to echo and chorus and 
//set it in the buffer.
EffectDescription[] effects = new EffectDescription[2];
effects[0].GuidEffectClass = DSoundHelper.StandardEchoGuid;
effects[1].GuidEffectClass = DSoundHelper.StandardChorusGuid;
buffer.SetEffects(effects);

//Play Buffer.
buffer.Play(0,BufferPlayFlags.Default);
