Property Value

An IWMDRMContentAuthor object.

  Set Encoder = New WMEncoder

' Create an IWMDRMContentAuthor object.
  Dim DRM As IWMDRMContentAuthor
  Set DRM = Encoder.EncoderDRMContentAuthor

' Retrieve the collection of DRM profiles.
  Dim DRMProColl As IWMDRMProfileCollection
  Set DRMProColl = DRM.DRMProfileCollection

' Create an IWMDRMProfile object and retrieve the first DRM profile
' in the collection.
  Dim DRMPro As IWMDRMProfile
  Set DRMPro = DRMProColl.Item(0)

' Retrieve an IWMDRMAttributes object.
  Dim Proattr As IWMDRMAttributes
  Set Proattr = DRM.Attributes

' Display the attributes for the current encoding session.
  Dim vValue As Variant, vName As Variant
  For x = 0 To Proattr.Count - 1
    vValue = Proattr.Item(x, vName)
