Capture USB Webcam Images using C

Hi,

Could you please tell me how to capture an image from my USB webcam
using C. I am using the Visual Studio .NET 2005 Environment.
Thanks a ton,
Speed.

The mechanics are likely to be entirely operating system specific and
are off-topic on this group, which deals only with ISO C. You'd be
much better off posting to a Microsoft group like comp.os.ms-
windows.program mer.win32 or one of the groups under the microsoft.*
hierarchy. Also be sure to take a look at MSDN and use Google. This is
a common question and ways to do it ought to be well known.

You will have to use some system specific libraries since C itself does
not know anything about USB or webcams. For information on this you will
have to ask on Windows specific news groups since here we only deal with
standard C. Looking on http://msdn.microsoft.com/ might also be of help.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
