Does anyone knows if it is possible to use a WEBCAM with LabVIEW to get images ?

Yes, but only through a third-party add-in.

INVENTeering provides a set of tools to capture any VFW (Video For Windows) video devices like USB cameras in LabVIEW.

I have used an Iqeye netcam (ethernet connection), that has an embedded FTP client. You setup an FTP server on your machine, create a directory in which you refresh the image when you need to and load the image from file into Labview. Not very difficult at all.
