Hi Rory,
Very good work ! Im from Brazil and i'm developing a mobile application that need to capture some photos. Im using CameraCaptureDialog and works fine, but i need a greater resolution then size(240,320), i tryed to increase those values but the result is
the same. How can i use a better resolution?
Thanks !! By the way, wen youre caming to Brazil?
Rory,
The camera API is very enticing. The "prompt to capture" limitation is the only thing holding me back. Is there any thing like the Windows User32.dll API that can issue SendKeys on WM5.0? I imagine you could hack your way around the prompting. My goal is a
mobile app that will take pictures on its own and push them onto an FTP site. I will then write some Ajax page to continously check for a new photos so I can monitor my 'spy camera' on a PC.
Probably Not,
Paul
Man the autocapture idea would RoCK...
I am trying to use the cameraCaptureDialog on a Pidion BM 150-R running WM 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack. I get an System.InvalidOperationException error. The value of SystemState.CameraPresent is False
even though there is an embedded camera on the device and it is working.
There was no registry value for \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware\Camera. I added a DWord value for Camera = 1 Now SystemState.CameraPresent is True, but I still get the same InvalidOperationException error. Are there any other registry values that
I can add to get this working with the camera API or is this a problem that the manufacturer of this device needs to fix?
Superb!
I desire to develop application similar to webcam. I don't want the camera dialog appear, and PC can monitor via USB.
Hi Rory,
Cool webcast! I especially liked the 999-9999-9999 bit. Its always the simple things that make us laugh.
Anyhoo, I'm currently writing a WM6 app which needs to trap key presses. I'm wondering if its possible to trap a Camera button press?
Can this be done through the camera API. Or do you know of a keycode for the camera button?
Cheers,
Dave.
