Recording
You can
implement recording capabilities in your application by using the user
interface built into MCIWnd. You can use the MCIWndCreate function and the MCIWndNew macro to provide controls
for starting and stopping recording and for saving the recorded information.
Using MCIWndCreate, you can specify window styles to display an MCIWnd
window and to include the Record button on the toolbar. Using MCIWndNew,
you can specify the device type that is being recorded and specify that the
information is to be captured in a new file.
If your
application requires more sophistication, you can automate and customize the
recording by using the MCIWndRecord macro. For more information, see Customizing
the Recording Process.
Note Some devices,
such as CD audio and MCIAVI, are used for playback only. Other devices, such as
waveform-audio devices, can be used for recording. If you specify a device that
cannot record, MCIWnd omits the Record button from the toolbar.
