The following table lists the CanStep property settings for the Multimedia MCI control.

Setting Description
False (Default) The device cannot step a frame at a time.
True The device can step a frame at a time.

Currently only MMMovie, Overlay, and VCR MCI devices can step a frame at a time. Because there is no way to check whether a device can step, programs set the value of this property by checking if the device type is MMMovie, Overlay, or VCR during the processing of an Open command.
