Camera Control needed for Tablet

[Antonio Linares]

Tim, Gale,

Are you using different Windows builds ?

[Gale FORd]

I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586
x64-based PC

I will try running it on our Panasonic Touphpad with Windows 10 Pro x86 version

Antonio,

On my Surface 3 ( not the pro model ), I just did a complete fresh re-install so it is the actual Anniversary release. I did it yesterday. It shows as Home: 14393.82

On my desktop, it is also working. This is an Insider Fast machine, build 14095.rs_prelease.160811-1739.

[Gale FORd]

Works ok on Panasonic ToughPad
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Same windows build as the one on my Surface Pro 3.
Dshow defaults to camera 2 that faces user.

[Antonio Linares]

Gale,

On my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 dshow.exe gets error.
"Could not render preview video stream"
dshow.exe was in the last .zip file you linked to.

After the error, is the app working fine ?

[Gale FORd]

It shows a black square box inside the dialog. If I click on black square it creates another black square beside it.
It also creates a 352kb photo.bmp but the image seems to be empty.

[Antonio Linares]

Gale,

Could you run this utility on your surface to see if it helps ?

Antonio,

Looks like we have a start for a FWH camera control. You used a SaveToBMP( ) but actually we would benefit by saving pictures to an alternative file, ie. JPG.

What I am missing ? Thank you very much !!!

[Antonio Linares]

Gustavo,

It only works with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015

[Silvio.Falconi]

Can you make a version to compile with harbour bcc7 for win10pro ?
or a version with a dll or lib we can use it
i have a tablet and i need it thanks

[Silvio.Falconi]

Dear Antonio

I found this http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/topic/34 ... e-class-c/

perhaps it can be usefull to use it for borland

[TimStone]

Silvio,

The application requires files only available with the Microsoft Visual Studio Community edition. It will not work with the Pelles compiler ( xHarbour xBuilder ), or Borland. The resources are not available in those programs.

The program was developed using VSC 2015 but works fine with VSC 2017 also.
