Capabilities Object

Provides a way for an HTML application to discover whether certain system capabilities and resources are available on the device that the code is running on.

Note   Hosted HTML has been deprecated. To use the new features of the Windows Media Center SDK, you must develop a Windows Media Center Presentation Layer application. However, if you still want to develop a hosted HTML application or update an existing application, you can download and use the previous version of the Windows Media Center SDK from the Microsoft Download Center.

The Capabilities object exposes the following properties:

Property Description
IsAudioAllowed Gets a value that indicates whether the system supports audio playback.
IsConsole Gets a value that indicates whether the HTML application is currently running on the Media Center PC.
IsDirectXAllowed Gets a value that indicates whether the current HTML page can use Microsoft DirectX.
IsDisplayTV Gets a value that indicates whether the TV is the current output device.
IsIntensiveRenderingAllowed Gets a value that indicates whether the current HTML application can use intensive rendering components, such as Adobe Flash.
