CAPDRIVERCAPS structure (vfw.h)

The CAPDRIVERCAPS structure defines the capabilities of the capture driver.

An application should use the WM_CAP_DRIVER_GET_CAPS message or capDriverGetCaps macro to place a copy of the driver capabilities in a CAPDRIVERCAPS structure whenever the application connects a capture window to a capture driver.

Syntax

typedef struct tagCapDriverCaps {
  UINT   wDeviceIndex;
  BOOL   fHasOverlay;
  BOOL   fHasDlgVideoSource;
  BOOL   fHasDlgVideoFormat;
  BOOL   fHasDlgVideoDisplay;
  BOOL   fCaptureInitialized;
  BOOL   fDriverSuppliesPalettes;
  HANDLE hVideoIn;
  HANDLE hVideoOut;
  HANDLE hVideoExtIn;
  HANDLE hVideoExtOut;
} CAPDRIVERCAPS, *PCAPDRIVERCAPS, *LPCAPDRIVERCAPS;
