You will only be able to do this if the Creative Webcam software/driver provides a way for other programs to control it. If you are using Windows, the most likely candidate would be ActiveX (also known as COM), which is a common protocol that allows Windows programs to communicate with each other. There's an off chance that Creative would provide a DLL driver that you could call to control the camera, but that is unlikely. Either way, you will need to talk to Creative first to find out whether they offer any way for other applications to interface with it. Specifically, you can ask them if they support ActiveX or if they supply a DLL that you can call into from LabVIEW, or perhaps someone who has tried this before will post their experience.
