IMFExtendedCameraControl::GetFlags method (mfidl.h)

Queries for property flags on the capture device.

Syntax

ULONGLONG GetFlags();

Return value

A ULONGLONG mapping to property flags. Supported properties and flags are defined in the header file defined in ksmedia.h as constants with the naming convention KSCAMERA_EXTENDEDPROP_. For more information, see KSPROPERTYSETID_ExtendedCameraControl.

Remarks

Set the property flags on the capture device by calling IMFExtendedCameraControl::SetFlags. Before setting a property flag, you can check for supported capabilities by calling IMFExtendedCameraControl::GetCapabilities. The following example demonstrates querying support for the KSCAMERA_EXTENDEDPROP_VIDEOTORCH_ON capability.

if (FAILED(m_cameraController->GetExtendedCameraControl(MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_MEDIASOURCE,
    KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_EXTENDED_TORCHMODE,
    cameraControl.put())))
{
    // Return false to indicate that the Torch Mode control is not available.
    return false;
}

ULONGLONG capabilities = cameraControl->GetCapabilities();

// Check if the torch can be turned on.
if (capabilities & KSCAMERA_EXTENDEDPROP_VIDEOTORCH_ON)
{
    // Check if the torch is off.
    if ((cameraControl->GetFlags() & KSCAMERA_EXTENDEDPROP_VIDEOTORCH_ON) == 0)
    {
        // Torch is off. Tell the camera to turn it on.
        check_hresult(cameraControl->SetFlags(KSCAMERA_EXTENDEDPROP_VIDEOTORCH_ON));
        // Write the changed settings to the driver.
        check_hresult(cameraControl->CommitSettings());
    }
}
