Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

I don't need to use capture (which is how I tried it at first), but
SwitchToMode will be asynchronous without a capture (on the other hand,
evidence suggests that it isn't synchronous WITH it either). So if I leave
out the capture, what is the recommended way to be sure the switch happens
before I do further work?


Thanks,
Jim
