2 hours finished the webcam program

Hi, I believe someone already asked, but I didn't see a reply. I am "OK" with labview, but new to ".NET" and am tryign to figure out how to save an image from this Webcam vi. Any help would be appreciated. I have been trying to read up on the imag.save function for the picturebox, but not having any luck.

thanks

Post what you have did so far? That will be easy for us to guide you.

Looking at the original code, and reading about the Picture Box control, I expected to be able to create a new property node for PictureBox similar to the one which is there for getting the Handle. Then wire the handle to it and select the "image.save" function from the drop down list. I quickly discovered that there is no "image.save" function shown in the drop down list. I am trying to get time to do more research on this, but any helpful hints would be appreciated.

thanks

If you mean property node then you probably should instead create a method node. Save certainly is an operation and not a property of an object.

If you already created a method node and couldn't find save there, then I would think that .Net control does not have a save method.

Hi, This is a really handy vi. Thanks McArthur.

Has anyone figured out a way to save an image from this?

Thanks

Hi, James.

I have downloaded your revised Webcam.vi

I see only a black screen.

The Web Cam video I am using DOES show up as working

when I use it with Skype.

Is there anything I'm missing?

I just ran this piece of code and saw a black screen also

once the camera is turned on and no other program is using the camera it works

Thanks, James.  That worked for me when I closed down Skype.
