The MCIWndRecord macro begins recording content using the MCI device. The recording process begins at the current position in the content and will overwrite existing data for the duration of the recording.
Syntax
LONG MCIWndRecord(
hwnd
);
Parameters
hwnd
Handle of the MCIWnd window.
Return value
Type: LONG
Returns zero if successful or an error otherwise.
Remarks
The function that an MCI device performs during recording depends on the characteristics of the device. An MCI device that uses files, such as a waveform-audio device, sends data to the file during recording. An MCI device that does not use files, such as a video-cassette recorder, receives and externally records data on another medium.
