restore command

The restore command copies a still image from a file to the frame buffer. This is the reverse of the capture command. Digital-video devices recognize this command.

To send this command, call the mciSendString function with the lpszCommand parameter set as follows.

_stprintf_s(
  lpszCommand, 
  TEXT("restore %s %s %s"), 
  lpszDeviceID, 
  lpszRestore, 
  lpszFlags
); 

Parameters

at rectangle	Specifies a rectangle relative to the frame buffer origin. The rectangle is specified as X1 Y1 X2 Y2. The coordinates X1 Y1 specify the upper left corner and the coordinates X2 Y2 specify the width and height.If this flag is not used, the image is copied to the upper left corner of the frame buffer.
from filename	Specifies the image filename to recall. This flag is required.
