CCD Camera Library

Hi
I have downloaded the 2nd DLL from the thread that talks to a 2n dmethod (includes fimage writing to file), and its refed as GetImage2 methid. But using the DLL only the method GetImage seems to be present?

I just downloaded the version in post #6 and it's all there for me. Are you sure you are trying the right version?

[ballfire1234]

Your right messed up the DLL version copied over

I've searched MSDN and Google for hours, and I mean hours, tried numerous Camera.DLL's
in #Develop, and I can't find a way to get a camera shot into a Basic4ppc Image

What I've come up with is very similiar to the DZT's DLL in this thread.
If not nearly identical.


Mode 0=Picture, jpg, 1=Video, mp4?, 0 is default.
ShowCam Shows the camera dialog. As per normal camera App.
Filename String value to last picture taken.

All variations of size, quality, storage media etc are still available
via the camera dialog. There not in DZT's DLL example.
Especially storage. Memory card is available as a choice.
All Pics or vids are stored in the default directory.
My Documents/My Pictures/ with default file names.
If Image1.jpg exists, the new one will be called Image2.jpg

It's a bank holiday weekend (UK)
And I've consumed copious amounts of alchohol, hic

I now find out that a custom dll is not needed to start the CameraCaptureDialog.

I 'dumped' the contents of a WM6 XDA Orbit ROM file on my PC
and copied Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.dll to my device.

Added it as a component in a Basic4ppc app.
Used 'Add Object' 'CameraCaptureDialog'
and named it cam
cam.New1 Voila !!

All the functions etc are available.

@Erel. ROM files are freely available on the net.
And downloadable from the O2 UK website.
Am I Ok to put a link to this 'Micro$oft dll' on the forum ?

You can put a link to the O2 UK website (or specific page) instead of a direct link.

You missed my point Erel.

The ROM file is 65MB and needs dumping
The dll is 20KB but is a Micro$oft file.

I will add a link to the dll on my website tomorrow instead.

If I understand right he didn't. I think he meant that you can't put a download link in the forum that directly downloads the ROM or MS file but you can put a link to a page containing such a link.

Oops, yes I misread it

I've added a O2 XDA page to my website homepage.

@ taximania

A bit , but, I've been looking for some schematics for an IR serial (R232, DB25) transceiver, in order to comunicate between my device and a few machines at work, wich use a simple AT protocol comunication...
Any sugestions?
