Hello All,

Has anyone had any experience of photo capture in an LCL app on Windows?
I am working on a field data recording program for a tablet PC with an embedded 
camera. I would like to be able to capture a high res. photograph with this 
and so far I have tried VFW, TWAIN, WIA and DirectShow with the following 
results:

VFW
This worked well, but the resolution seems to be fixed at WebCam type levels 
and access to the frame-buffer is non-trivial.

TWAIN
This works, but it is slow and always throws up the default dialog box and I 
can't find a way to switch this off.

WIA
This works but is unusably slow! From pressing the camera button to generating 
the memory bitmap takes over 10 seconds.

DirectShow
I have seen some good Delphi samples that produce high res. images  with sub-
second response times, but I can't get them to work with FPC.

Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Paul Michell
