Camera Control needed for Tablet

[TimStone]

A camera control to go along with the touch features added to FWH would be very helpful.

It would be nice to simply press a button to activate the tablet camera, and when the picture is taken, it can be saved to a location defined within our program.

Right now, I could leave a program, activate the camera, take the picture, and then move it to the location. However it would be nice to have a control button within my program to take the photo, and then to have it auto save to my desired location.

Thanks for considering this.

Yes, I have been working on this also.
The twebcam class doesn't work for most tablets. It seems that some tablets only have DirectShow built in.
I tried finding twain driver for webcam but most of them are .net now.
If we could adapt twebcam class or create new one to use DirectShow that would be great.

I found a workaround using 2 different methods.

Method 1 was to use the builtin camera app. I would start the camera app (or bring to top if already running) and place "Press here when done" button on screen. They take the pictures and then press my done button. Then it collects the images and I moves them where I want.
This has been working pretty well but you lose some control over the process.
If you need it I have more information on using Windows 8/10 camera app.
Here is how I call it with Windows 10 and 8

         case ::oMain:cWinVer == '10'  // GDF Mod Windows 10 8/24/2015
            cPathInfo := 'shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsCamera_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App'
            lMetro := .t.
         case ::oMain:cWinVer == '8'
            cPathInfo := 'shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MoCamera_cw5n1h2txyewy!Microsoft.Camera'
            lMetro := .t.

// Then do something like
if lMetro
   WinExec( 'C:\Windows\explorer.exe '+cPathInfo, 0 )
else
..
endif
 

Method 2 is using a little program CommandCam.exe. This app can capture images from webcam from command line. It has command line options you can use.
Users did not like this approach as much. You could put a delay before capture but still hard to sync image position before capture.

FYI CommandCam provides source code to use Microsoft’s DirectShow API. It would have to be converted from .net

The program is very small only 66k

I use xHarbour ( .com ) and MSVC, not Borland ...

[Antonio Linares]

Tim,

Yes, I know it

First we need to make it work, then we may be able to port it to MSVC

[TimStone]

OK but I haven't had Borland installed here for many years so I can't really help.

[Antonio Linares]

Tim,

This version works fine with MSVC. This is a work in progress.

You have to link MS strmiids.lib

I appreciate if you can test it on your tablet.

It does nothing yet. We are just converting code, step by step.

[Antonio Linares]

I am going to code it for MSVC so you can help me to test it
