Capturing and Storing Photos 1

[prustie]

Hi

I have an appointments system written in VFP 6.

There is now a requirement to capture and store photos for each of the clients from within the system.

What is required is that the user chooses the Client Details in the system and enters a name for the photo about to be taken. They then click on a button which loads the software to capture the image and then store it with the specified name.

Obviously I can do the initial steps but what I need help with is the software that can be called to actually capture the image and store it to disk with the supplied file name.

Any suggestions?

It depends on the equipment you plan to use for acquiring the photos. This link might give you ideas.

If you're planning to use a webcam.... there's a FAQ that has a sample capture application. I wrote one of my own using an ActiveX component.
