webcam used for VB application, can plug-in be used?

[Agent009]

Hi all,

I know relatively nothing about webcams, so could you recommend a good one to me?

Thanks,

Ive another query,

I want to take a picture with a webcam + send it directly to a Visual Basic application i have written, I have heard that this can be done, using a plug-in, but does anyone know what would be the most useful/best one to use?

Thanks in advance,

I have done something similar in VB using the TWAIN API

Private Declare Function TWAIN_AcquireToFilename Lib "TWAIN32d.DLL" (ByVal hwndApp As Long, ByVal bmpFileName As String) As Integer
Private Declare Function TWAIN_IsAvailable Lib "TWAIN32d.DLL" () As Long
Private Declare Function TWAIN_SelectImageSource Lib "TWAIN32d.DLL" (ByVal hwndApp As Long) As Long

so you may want to check these out.
