I am writing an app to take ID pictures using a webcam, I need a PictureBox to display a live image of the person sitting infront of the webcam in which I then need a captured picture to desplay as soon as a Button is clicked.
I don't even know where to start.
1. How do I get the PictureBox to comunicate with the webcam?
2. I also will need to crop and resize the picture and then print it, but this we can diskus later.
I have a logitech webcam that I use to take pictures of customers to submit to a server/database. Utilizing AVICAP32.DLL calls, I was able to modify my VB.NET program to take these pictures via a button in my program.
My question is, it would me more convenient to my intended users to click the webcam button, instead of clicking on the button in my program.
Is this possible to do in VB.NET? and how can I do this?
If this is not possible to do with my logitech webcam than is there a Microsoft Webcam that can do this?
how to make picture box can capture "image" from a webcam, its more like "online" photo..ps: online means when i capturing a video, i get my visual on my computer.. so my purpose is taking a picture with web cam and the output goes to picture box.. or maybe go to "something that i doesn't know" first.. but next that capturing photo could sent to picture box.. cause i need get the pixel..

View 4 RepliesI want to have a go at creating a webcam application, that takes pictures and eventually records video's.This is a purley personal project, its something I have wanted to do for ages. The problem is I am not sure how to start this project. For instance what control can I use on the main user interface to view the picture from the webcam. Also, do I need drivers for the webcam in my code??
I have started the application with the obvious, I have the user interface designed, again not sure what to use for showing video in the UI, would a picture box work??
Currently I have the following VB.NET code to make a screenshot of my desktop, but it only takes a picture of the active screen:
Public Function SaveScreen(ByVal theFile As String) As Boolean
Try
SendKeys.Send("%{PRTSC}")[code].....
The following code is how I execute the above function, if it makes any difference, which I don't think it does:
SaveScreen("C:Lexer_tracescreen.png")
Now, I need to be able to take a picture of the entire screen, not just the focused window.

I'm almost completed my little application and what I've discovered just recently is that any change I made is not taking affect.
What I mean is if I change the display name of a button or insert a msgbox popup, it doesnt make it to the build when I run it. There are no errorswarnings.
I have a long string that I need to take apart two values, and add them into another string.
View 3 RepliesI have VS 2008 and use VB, not C#/C++ or whatever else. I'm trying to make a battleship game, and I've decided to use the only method I can think of to control the grid. A 2D boolean array for position marking. I have the array set up, and the grid set up in the design form, but I can't figure out with all my research how to link them together. I'm writing this program to shake off the rust before school starts again, and for fun. I took VB in school last year, a half year class, so I have a foundation, now I'm self-educating myself above and beyond the class. I've searched for a way to use a picture box array to use the coordinates of the ship to .Visible=True the picture boxes. I've been working on this for 2 days straight with no results. I just need a little nudge in the right direction. The exception I've been getting with my latest concoction of code is NullReferenceException was Unhandled. I think its referring to the fact that I have no idea how to link the picture boxes into the array. Here's my code, and I'll comment where the exception is thrown:
Private Sub cmdStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdStart.Click

Is there a function within vb.net that reads xml and takes out all the attributes with a certain name? For example to withdraw all the authors names from an xml file about books?
But like always I have a question. I need to take the data that I have stored in arrays and use it. But how do I do that? What I need is to take numbers stored in the arrays and add and subtract them and put them in the appropriate array , like this:

Is there a way to use ReadAllLines to read in a text file that contains some Chr(10) (linefeeds) but uses ONLY the Chr(13) (carriage return) as the true end-of-line?What I mean is, DON'T treat a Chr(10) as the EOL. ONLY treat a Chr(13) as the EOL.Obviously I could just read in the whole file as binary and then split it into lines by scanning for Chr(13), but I just wondered whether or not there's a setting in VB.NET to set the EOL character so I didn't have to do that.
