Classes > VUMeter class > Methods > VUMeter.CreateNew method

Remarks

Creates a new instance of the VUMeter class on the given parent window. This method is alternative to the VUMeter.Create method and should be used when dealing with development environments like WPF where controls don't expose a HWND.

Once created, by default the VU-Meter is still not visible: you must make a call to the VUMeter.Show method in order to display it.

For further details about using the component inside WPF applications refer to the Adding the component to a Visual Studio 2008 WPF project tutorial.

For further details about using the embedded VU-Meter refer to the VUMeter class section.

For details about using Visual Feedbacks refer to the How to use embedded Visual Feedbacks section.
