The Indexer method cancels the indexing process before it is complete.

Syntax

WMEncoder.Indexer(enumIndexerOp)

Parameters

enumIndexerOp

[in]  Member of the WMENC_INDEXER_OPERATION enumeration type that indicates whether the indexing process will be cancelled.

Return Values

If this method fails, it returns an error number.

Number Description
0x80070057 You can only specify WMENC_INDEXER_STOP.

Remarks

Stopping the indexing process before completion may corrupt the Windows Media file, and is not recommended.

The index is added during the encoding process and is no longer a separate process.

Example Code

' Check to see if the indexer is running.
Dim iIndexState As WMENC_INDEXER_STATE
iIndexState = Encoder.IndexerState
If iIndexState = WMENC_INDEXER_RUNNING Then
    ' Stop the indexing process.
    Encoder.Indexer WMENC_INDEXER_STOP
End If

Requirements

Reference: Windows Media Encoder
