There are several features in REALbasic that require QuickTime to be
installed. The ExportPicture function for example, depends on
QuickTime. If
your application uses any QuickTime-dependant feature, you should check
to
see that the user has QuickTime installed and then take appropriate
action
if they don't. You might need to disable a certain feature, or your
application may depend on QuickTime and thus can't do anything useful
without it. To determine if QuickTime is installed, do this:
Dim theEffect as QTEffect
theEffect=GetQTCrossFadeEffect
if theEffect = nil then
msgBox "QuickTime is not installed."
else
msgBox "Quicktime is installed."
end if
This code attempt to load a QuickTime effect. If the effect can't be
loaded,
QuickTime is not installed.
