I have a web cam connected through USB,I capturing and saving video it with avicap32.dll and user32.dll.But in the same time I need to starting other hardware and working with it trough COM port during capturing. And here appearing a problem, because then I send a command for start video capturing:
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_CAP_SEQUENCE, 0, 0) ' start video capture
the executing code stops at this line until I click to stop to capture. But in the capturing time I need to work with my hardware, to obtain the data from it, and after that to stop capturing.To make to work simultaneous video capturing and my hardware or its impossible to do that with avicap32.dll and user32.dll.
how do you display a webcam property page with avicap32? I am sending this message SendMessage(hHwnd, WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY, 0, 0) but the windows does not open
View 1 RepliesI 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 want to capture a still picture in any format like .png,.jpg,.bmp etc. using a webcam.And want to save that in directory.
View 3 RepliesI would really like to get some VB.net program code for still image capturing using a Webcam.I've searched the web for quite a while now but did not get any codes. Currently i have a code for capturing video. In that code an image can be captured, but only with 640 X 480 resolution (Maximum Video resolution for my web camera). The WM_CAP_DLG_VIDEOFORMAT dialog box only allows the resolution to be set up to 640 X 480.

Im using a black n white image of a human as my back ground and panels to display the same bits in color when the area is clicked. What isn't working for me is the panels are slightly overlapped and one will always be on top of the other. it is transparent so you can see the back ground, but not the panel underneath it when it has a picture in it.

View 6 RepliesI am using a DataGridView, which is bound to a dataset. There is a bindingNavigator as well.
when a user deletes a row by clicking "bindingNavigatorDeleteItem" button, I am trying to get the row being deleted.
private void bindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int crow = gridEventType.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
but it returns the newly selected row AFTER deletion of a selected row.
so, If I have two rows
0
1
2
and I delete 2
crow is 1, not 2.
Am I missing something here?
2. How do I know whether certain rows are modified in datagridview?
I was creating some complex applications in Visual Basic .NET 2008 and since they are in the testing phase right now, people manage to find an error or two every so often that causes the program to crash. The problem is that there is a tracking piece to it that logs who is currently using the programs. When a user logs in, it logs that they are currently logged in, and if the form close event is fired, the log is deleted to show that they have closed it.
Now my problem comes whenever the form crashes from an error since it won't trigger the close event and therefore makes the log become inaccurate. My question is if it is possible to capture any error that the form would have in the form of an event?

I am trying to modifying the "Math Quiz" tutorial to be more user friendly.
The initial tutorial does not consider the users efforts to answer the math problems as quickly as possible.
The problem is that you must use the mouse or tab key rather than the "enter" key to move to the next control after answering. I believe using the "Enter key to be much more intuitive.
Therefore, I wish to modify the program to either:
1. Check the KeyPress event of the NumberUpDown controls to watch for the "Enter" key to be pressed, and if it is, check to ensure that the current NumberUpDown control is not empty (= Nothing) and if both are True, to then TAB to the next control in the TAB order; OR
2. Uses the PreviewKeyDown event to transpose the "Enter" into a "Tab" automatically so the application will then TAB to the next control in the TAB order.
With all of the new changes to VB 2010 from the last version I actually used professionally (VB6), things are REALLY different, so I no longer know how to accomplish this same task in the new manner. especially if it contains working CODE, because I have always learned better the first time from an example. here is my version of the tutorial Code:
'--- Create a Random object to generate random numbers.
Private objRandomValue As New Random
'--- The Integers will store the numbers for the
' addition problem.

View 2 RepliesI have a datagridview (unbound). Fields are Name, Family Name and Phone No and a checkbox colum.
There are ten rows in that DataGridView.
There is an OK button
I need to get message of showing which rows user has checked. The message should appear when user clicks OK button. There could be several message, checking each row one by one, in a loop.
I am not able to get this message. I tried following code in OK button
Dim strCB As String = dgvChooseQs.Rows(0).Cells(3).Value.ToString
Cell(3) is my checkbox. Donot consider Rows(0), at the moment I am just checking value at row 0
I have read and tried a dozen or more examples of trying to capture the Enter key in a datagrid, but I have yet to find something that works. My scenario is :

dt.Columns.Add("Cases", GetType(System.Int32)) Inventory Nr in the next row.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to add the mouse when capturing the screen or monitor in vb.net?
because I'm doing a project that would record the screen and I'm actually successfull doing that by capturing the screen and include it in a timer, but my only problem is the mouse or the cursor isn't showing.
below is my sample code.
Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(TotalScreenWitdh, MonitorHeightArray(0))
Dim BMP As New Bitmap(TotalScreenWitdh, MonitorHeightArray(0))

I'd like to start by saying that simply though searching, DreamInCode has taught me alot about VB.NET. In fact, I would imagine without DIC as a resource, I probably wouldn't have been able to move forward and learn most of what I know now, just because I got stuck on some things here and there.Anyway, I searched around for information regarding how to "capture" a minimize event in VB.NET. I am working on the GUI for an application that I would like to have minimize to the system tray. Currently, instead of accomplishing this with the minimize function, I do it on the FormClosing event like this:
Private Sub MainFrm_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
'Cancel the attempt.
[code]....
That code works, and upon making the form visible again with Me.Visible = True the form is restored to its original position. However, prior to the form being hidden, the window manager draws a minimize and restore effect before eventually hiding it. Any change to the WindowState _after_ hiding the form does not appear to have any effect, so when the form is unhidden it is still minimized.is there a way to capture Minimize events, and when captured, is it possible to cancel them in a manner similar to what I did with the FormClosing event?
I'm stuck here in a code that requires me to capture the printer name and storing the file name as well.
