What is the best way to take pictures using the Camera?

[ink]

Hi

I am developing on a Symbol MC70 devices and in the past they have always
realised an SDK for development including Symbol.Camera Wrapper.
However it seems that for the MC35 they are not, or it is not yet available.

We have a current application written in C# CF2 that uses there
Symbol.Camera Wrapper and runs on the MC70 but we want to offer this same
solution on the MC35.
And this is casing us some difficulty.

Is there any king of camera API that can be used or even a third party
control that will work on windows mobile.
The CameraCaptureDialog() gives the user fare to much access to the hand
held then we would like to allow.

Any suggestion welcome.

Thanks,
ink

Hi

On the MC35 you can use the WM5 managed classes for the camera, take a
look at the CameraCaptureDialog class.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the input.

But as i mentioned in my post that the CameraCaptureDialog class gives the
user fare to much control over the device, and us as the software writers
not enough control over the way the dialog is displayed and used or what
options should be displayed for the users.

I can not have 600 warehouse/delivery workers taking pictures of there mates
butts and beaming/messaging them to the world, or setting them as desktops.
Our clients don't pay for these devices to be used as toys. In every case
they are to be used for a very specific function so we lock them down
completely.

Do you know of any other way of accessing the camera.

Thanks,
ink

Hi Ink

How about using DirectShow? It's more work, but I believe it gives you
more control over what you are capturing...

See this article for details...

Thanks Matt,

This looks like it is what i need.

i have tried getting the Sample application to run on my MC35 and the Image
just comes out black.

Do i need to install something to get DirectShow to work.

Sorry, but I've not used the direct show method so don't really know
what other stuff is needed.
