The control was streamlined on the work of Jacob Klint. I hereby acknowledge.
Now you are developing a voice recording software. You need to actually monitor the microphone input volume and display it. Similar to QQ voice function.
There are a lot of available technologies that can be implemented by Windows Media Encoder, Microsoft Expression Encoder, Microsoft SAPI, and Microsoft DirectX. Taking into account the compatibility of XP, Vista and Win7, DirectX was used as a technical solution.
Let's take a look at the effect of the finished product:
The idea is this:
Capture the sound, then start the thread, read the data from the cache at intervals, find the level value of the group's data, and update the ProgressBar control.
First we need to capture sound from the sound card (audio capture). The specific steps for capturing sound using DirectX are as follows: C # code // Create capture object capture cap = New capture (Audiodevices[deviceindex]. DRIVERGUID); // Create a description of capture buffer object capturebufferdescription Desc = new capturebufferdescription (); waveformat wf = new Waveformat (); WF. bitspersample = 16; WF. samplespersecond = 16000; // Mono WF. channels = 1; // data for the smallest atomic unit WF. blockalign = (short) (WF). CHANNELS * WF. BITSPERSAMPLE / 8); WF. AVERAGEBYTESPERSECOND = WF. BLOCKALIGN * WF. samplespersecond; // uncompressed pcm WF. formattag = waveformattag.pcm; Desc. format = wf; Desc. BUFFERBYTES = SAMPLES * WF. Blockalign; // Create capturebuffer objects buffer = new Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.CaptureBuffer (desc, cap); // capture data to cache buffer. Start (True);
Then we need to start a thread to monitor the volume and modify the UI controls. C # code Livevolumethread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (updateprogress)); livevolumethread.priority = Threadpriority.lowest; Livevolumethread.start ();
Let's implement the UpdateProgress method below. The first step is to read the sound data and write an array. C # code Array samples = buffer. Read (0, typeof (Int16), Lockflag.fromwritecursor, Sample_format_array);
The second step is to find out the level value of this group of data C # code int goal = 0; for (int i = 0; i < samples; i++) {Goal = = (Int16) samples. GetValue (i, 0, 0); } goal = (int) math.abs (goal/samples); In the final step, set the value of the ProgressBar to allow the thread to sleep a fixed value. C # code Progressbar.value = goal; Thread.Sleep (Tempframedelay);
The control implements the UserControl interface, so you can drag and drop it directly in the interface designer.
Invoke the Start () method to open the capture;
Call the Stop () method to close the capture;

When you run the sample code, if you are prompted with an exception such as "Loaderlocker detected", the processing method is:
Debug-Exception-managed debugging assistants-will loaderlocker the hook to reverse the selection. (as pictured)
