Set to TRUE to enable the camera selection box in the Source property page, or set to FALSE to disable it

Page [in]

Index of the property page to be activated. Use one of the following values to activate a specific property page:

0 or omitted - the property page which was active last time the property pages were used

1 - the Source page

2 - the Format page

3 - the Exposure page

4 - the Color page

5 - the Advanced page

6 - the Display page

E_FAIL

Example

This VB example demonstrates how to display the property pages in runtime mode.

Private Sub Properties_Click()
ActiveDcam1.ShowProperties False
End Sub


Remarks

Setting the EnableCamList parameter to False allows you to disable the camera selection box in the Source property page thus preventing a user from switching to another camera. This is a recommended scenario in case your application uses several ActiveDcam objects configured for different cameras. See PropertyPages for more information.
