Video Capture with VFP 6

[kate]

I have a program that takes pic for permits and employee badges. Currently we take pictures using a Snappy. Since Snappy is no longer available they want to use a Winnov 1000 VO plus Videun Board. Any suggestion on how to access and take pictures with the video card.

The old code :

frmLicense.addobject "oleSnappy","olecontrol","SNAPPY.SnappyCtrl.1")

with frmLicense.oleSnappy
.autoshow = .F.
.camerasource = .T.
.cropleft = 0
.cropright = 180
.croptop = 0
.cropbottom = 60
.imageaspectcorrect = .T.
.imageoptimizedpalette = .T.
.imageheight = 480
.imagewidth = 640
.imagebitdepth = 24
.lptport = 1
.newwndopt = .F.
.negative = .F.
.processfilter = 1
.savefilecompression = 0
.savefilename = strLocalPath + "image.bmp"
.savefiletype = "BMP"
.snapmode = 0
.tabstop = .F.
.termination = 0
.visible = .F.
.tint = 0
.brightness = 0
.contrast = 0
.sharpness = 0
.red = 0
.green = 0
.blue = 0
endwith

Thank you for any help you can give me

Hi Kate,

I had this same requirement recently. As several other people seem to be interested in the solution, I have written an article describing how I went about it. See:
