IScanningTuner Interface

  • Article

The IScanningTuner interface is implemented on the BDA Network Provider filter. It inherits from ITuner and permits direct control of a tuner that supports searching for valid programming. The client must provide a valid tuning space (using ITuner::put_TuningSpace or ITuner::put_TuneRequest) before calling any of the methods in this interface. This interface is meant to be used in conjunction with the IBroadcastEvent outbound interface.

Note  Only applications intended to run on Microsoft® Windows® 98 or Windows 2000 should use this interface. On Windows XP, the Video Control handles all tuning interactions with the Network Provider.

Methods

The IScanningTuner interface inherits from ITuner.

In addition, IScanningTuner defines the following methods.
