There's lots of code samples around to get a list of webcams (or other video capture devices) in VB.NET:
Declare Function capGetDriverDescriptionA Lib "avicap32.dll" (ByVal wDriver As Short, ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal cbName As Integer, ByVal lpszVer As String, ByVal cbVer As Integer) As Boolean
[Code]....
I have two webcams installed on my PC but I only get one entry: "Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)".
If I run Skype > Tools > Options > Video Settings I see "Logitech HD Webcam C270" and "Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000". I can click on each camera and it's output is correctly shown in the preview window.
how to get this full description of each camera device? Having done that, I will need to be able to select that device as the source for my image grabbing routine. Perhaps each entry can provide a GUID?
Where to begin trying to research building a program that can inventory a program and then build a spreadsheet where I can name tabs based on directory names and then color them according to their level in the directory tree. The number of directories and/or total number of files shouldn't be a limiting factor if possible. I would also like all subdirectories to be after the tab for their parent directory.
[1] [1a] [1b] [1b1] [1b2] [1c] [2] [3] [4]
I'm working on a Win 7, Office 2010, and VB 2010 Express machine. The purpose of this is to assist with our data retention policy at my company. I want to split up directories on the tabs to make it easier to search and then employee's can go into certain directories to make files they used for a project so those can get archived and the unused files can be deleted.
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?
I'm an experienced VB.NET developer, who wants to start with C#. I'm searching for a web based comparison between both languages syntax as quick reference.I found myself arranging VB.NET syntax templates such as...
Public MustInherit Class BaseClass Public MustOverride Sub PublicMustOverrideSub(ByVal byValParam As Integer, ByRef byRefParam As String) Protected MustOverride Function ProtectedMustOverrideFunc() As Double
webcam drivers were installed using its cd drivers.[code]after skipping the errors in compile (f5) the program works, how to cancel the errors? moreover, when the program is run via the .exe file in the bin folder no errors fire up
I have written a program that uses directshowlib to capture a stream from a webcam and save as an AVI whenever a bird lands on the experiment platform for behavioral research. What I would like is to be able to allow another program or connection to the same webcam at the same time simply for preview purposes, is this possible?
Basically I want my app to still be able to record on demand when a bird interacts but I would also like a IP cam program like webcamXP/Webcam7 to be able to stream a live feed to the internet so we can have a live view of the platform. I had found some articles about connecting multiple streams from one webcam but am not sure how to go about it. If I have to I will simply mount a 2nd cam in the Bird colony and dedicate it to the web stream but if I can use the same cam as the recording cam that would be great.
I tried to code using WIA, and it is working fine.But when I tried my codes under Win 7 OS, it failed to capture.It seems that it is only working on XP. I also tried some code sample found here. And still failed under win7.Is there any good link where I can get some info to work with regarding to web cam capture...I tried also Avicap.dll?
I'm a computer science student and I have a project to do where I need to have VB connected to a webcam to take captures of items and then save them according to the item name that stores them into either a dbase or access database. I have knowledge of oledb using vb to retrieve and modify access databse so it might be better to head in that direction, but I have no clue how to get the webcam talking to vb and see the live feed from the cam until you take a picture and save.
That was probably bad title, but I'll illustrate what I'm trying to do. I have a method in a class that I need to call several times. The method returns a List(Of String). I'm just grabbing some information from a database.
VB.NET Public Function GetTestList() As List(Of String) Dim int As Integer = 0
I'm storing images in a List Of Image. When I want to clear/remove all the images it contains should I dispose & set each item to nothing before using .Clear? Or can you just call .Clear? I'm doing it like this for now...
' remove all images in list of image named "images". For i As Integer = 0 to images.Count - 1 images(i).Dispose() images(i) = Nothing Next images.Clear()
I use VS2008 with Visual Basic and VB.Net. I am writing an application to save videos from a webcam, and I've found several examples that provide the basic functionality, so that I can now start and stop the webcam, and save a video as a .avi file. However my interface is still clunky: when video capture starts following
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_CAP_SEQUENCE, 0, 0)
then the window is locked and the [Stop Capture] button doesn't function, so I need to exit the window to stop capture.The documentation at Video Capture [URL] has a lot of methods that look useful, and I think that I need to link up a callback function to allow [Stop Capture] to function, but I can't figure out from this documentation how to send a WM_CAP_SET_CALLBACK_VIDEOSTREAM message to do this. I don't know how to control the formats so that I generate video files that are concise enough for web use - changing the frame rate or dimensions seems to have absolutely no effect Is there any general tutorial that will cover all of the messages in AVICAP32.dll, and show me how to implement them in VB?
I'm trying to take a picture from my webcam when the user clicks a button on a Form on a Windows XP Machine.
I tried going through several threads, but couldn't find the solution I was looking for. Most of the threads involved matters (and code) too complex for my requirements, or had bugs when I reproduced the code in my editor window which I was unable to resolve due to my lack of knowledge in I/O related programming.
So far the simplest solution I could find was this one:[URl]...but after using his solution in my editor, it says 'type WIA is not defined', despite adding a reference to Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition 1.01 Type Library.
I wrote some software that use the AVICAP32.dll to do a spot of video capture.All was going well till they went and bought a laptop with a built in webcam.Now my software picks one a random and uses that for the video (somewhat annoying to say the least) Can anyone tell me how to pick a camera to use,I suspect it is related to DVM_DIALOG but my experiments have not been too successful.
I have to develop an application where I have to stream my webcam over lan. I have a server where my webcam will be connected and when requested I have to send my webcam over lan. i need to view the server webcam from another network pc.
I need to capture image from WebCam in my .NET application which should work on both Win XP & Vista. While creating this thread, the forums suggested me 3 links that were helpful. I though I got the answer from one of them, but it worked spcifically on Win XP, not Vista.
I jus tneed to capture an image from the WebCam, rest all processing of the would be handled by my .NET code.
I am playing around with using a webcam in a program to have the program automatically target key things within the webcams frame. I was just wondering how I would go about getting the webcam to be "used" within the program.
Is there any Visual Basic SDK that will let me scan a barcode from a webcam, not an image? I have seen some that read from files, but this is not what I am looking for. If possible, I would love it if this is free!
I have swann webcam Mac IP cam network camera...its connected to the RJ-45 connector....I want to capture images after every 10 sec. from this and save it in to sql database..[URL]
I'm currently working on a project which is basically Server-Client based. Client is standalone VB executable file and Server is web based.The program is supposed to use webcam as video capture device, stream video footages to server (on website - live feed) and allows users to manually save captured videos into their computer.Thats basically the brief description of my system. I'm starting off working with VB right now and website after I'm done with VB.I'm new to VB, this would be my 1st project on it. I've looked for available sources online and found several VB apps which lets me capture image file through my webcam. Also on MSDN forum, i found recommendations on using "DCAM Server" to stream videos on website but I'm still not sure of how to configure the settings to make it work properly, and of course, don't have a proper website for it to work with yet atm. Also realise I'll need to integrate some .dll files or activeX functions to use video capture function. I don't really know how to use these yet rite now.
