Re: Controlling Laptop Camera from 4D

[David Samson via 4D_Tech]

Hello Randy,

There is an old tech note about this:
http://kb.4d.com/assetid=77204

It was also demonstrated at the 4D roadshow a few years ago - so it is not
just theory, we saw it working.

Subject: Controlling Laptop Camera from 4D

I'm trying to run the camera on my laptop (Dell 7720) - yes - it's Windows

I thought that Win32API might be able to do this, but all I can see using 
TWAIN_GetSources are some scanners on my network.
So, apparently, my laptop camera is not a Twain or Wia device.

Thought Qpix might do this, but same, all I see are the scanners.

Camera on laptop is running, operatational, etc.

Anyone know if it is possible to control the on-board camera from within 4D 
using anything?

Thanks

Randy Engle
