Detailed Description
The class captures a window. It is managed by the QMediaCaptureSession class where the captured window can be displayed in a video preview object or recorded to a file.
See also QMediaCaptureSession and QCapturableWindow.
Member Type Documentation
enum QWindowCapture::Error
Enumerates error codes that can be signaled by the QWindowCapture class. errorString() provides detailed information about the error cause.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QWindowCapture::NoError | 0 | No error |
QWindowCapture::InternalError | 1 | Internal window capturing driver error |
QWindowCapture::CapturingNotSupported | 2 | Window capturing is not supported |
QWindowCapture::CaptureFailed | 4 | Capturing window failed |
QWindowCapture::NotFound | 5 | Selected window not found |
Property Documentation
active : bool
This property holds whether the capturing is currently active.
Access functions:
| bool | isActive() const |
| void | setActive(bool active) |
Notifier signal:
| void | activeChanged(bool) |
[read-only] error : const Error
This property holds the code of the last error.
Access functions:
| QWindowCapture::Error | error() const |
Notifier signal:
| void | errorChanged() |
[read-only] errorString : const QString
This property holds a human readable string describing the cause of error.
Access functions:
| QString | errorString() const |
Notifier signal:
| void | errorChanged() |
window : QCapturableWindow
This property holds the window for capturing.
Access functions:
| QCapturableWindow | window() const |
| void | setWindow(QCapturableWindow window) |
Notifier signal:
| void | windowChanged(QCapturableWindow window) |

Member Function Documentation
[explicit] QWindowCapture::QWindowCapture(QObject *parent = nullptr)
Constructs a new QWindowCapture object with parent.
[override virtual noexcept] QWindowCapture::~QWindowCapture()
Destroys the object.
[static invokable] QList<QCapturableWindow> QWindowCapture::capturableWindows()
Returns a list of QCapturableWindow objects that is available for capturing.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
[signal] void QWindowCapture::errorOccurred(QWindowCapture::Error error, const QString &errorString)
Signals when an error occurs, along with the errorString.
[slot] void QWindowCapture::start()
Starts capturing the window.
This is equivalent to setting the active property to true.
[slot] void QWindowCapture::stop()
Stops capturing.
This is equivalent to setting the active property to false.
