Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to use a Philipps web cam in VB.Net, what I
would
like to do is select a web cam, display the image on screen, edit the
properties of the web cam and also capture an image.
Can anyone help with some code examples please?
This is not an easy task, I spent many an hour doing exactly this (120 hours
at least). You need to use directshow which means creating a whole heap of
com interfaces in code. There is a site that has a lot of this already done
but i'm not sure what it's called. There are also many samples, which is
what I was working from. The other altenative is to use the older Video For
Windows which is much simpler but gives less functionality.
Regards,
Michael
