WaveformAnalyzer.CreateMemoryBitmapView method

WaveformAnalyzer.CreateMemoryBitmapView method

Creates a view (in form of memory bitmap referenced by a HBITMAP) of the waveform for the recorded sound: the view can represent the full sound's waveform or portions of it.

Before calling this method it's mandatory performing a previous sound's analysis through a call to the WaveformAnalyzer.AnalyzeFullSound method and waiting its completion through the WaveAnalysisStop event.

For further details about generating a waveform bitmap of the recorded sound refer to the How to obtain the waveform bitmap of the latest recording session tutorial.

For details about the use of the Waveform Analyzer refer to the How to use the Waveform Analyzer section.

);

Parameter

Description

nStartPos

Number representing the sound's position, expressed in milliseconds, where the waveform visualization begins.

The value 0 represents the sound's beginning.

nEndPos

Number representing the sound's position, expressed in milliseconds, where the waveform visualization ends.

The value -1 represents the sound's end.

nBitmapWidth

Number representing the generated bitmap width, expressed in pixels. A value of -1 indicates no width constraints: in this case the control will generate a bitmap large enough in order to contain the full sound's waveform.

nBitmapHeight

Number representing the generated bitmap height, expressed in pixels.

nWaveformType

The type of rendered waveform, related to the sound's channels.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic value	Value	Meaning
WAVEFORM_TYPE_LEFT	0	The bitmap contains sound data for the left channel
WAVEFORM_TYPE_RIGHT	1	The bitmap contains sound data for the right channel
WAVEFORM_TYPE_MIXED	2	The bitmap contains sound data for left and right mixed channels

Value	Meaning

Negative value	An error occurred (see the LastError property for further error details)
enumErrorCodes.NOERROR (0)	The method call was successful and the returned value represents the handle (HBITMAP) of the waveform's bitmap stored in memory
