[RESOLVED] Type define problem

[assafey]

When I Write the line below, I get an error: Type 'WebCamera' is not defined.

Private WithEvents _Camera As WebCamera

What is the problem?

[Hack]

The problem is that WebCamera is not a variable type, like Integer or String or something along those lines, that VB recognizes. It doesn't know what you mean.

What do you mean?

I have no clue what WebCamera, as a type, means either.

I found this code on the web. but, I got an error about the WebCamera type.

do I need a WebCamera control or .ocx? where can I find it?

Class Form1

    Private WithEvents _Camera As WebCamera

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        _Camera = New WebCamera
        _Camera.StartFeed()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        _Camera = New WebCamera
        _Camera.StartFeed()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

        If _Camera.Running Then
            _Camera.EndFeed()
        End If
    End Sub
    Private Sub _Camera_ImageChanged() Handles _Camera.ImageChanged
        Me.Text = "Changed at " & Now().ToString
        Dim NewImage As Image = _Camera.CurrentImage
        PictureBox1.Image = NewImage
        NewImage.Dispose(NewImage = Nothing)
    End Sub

End Class

I have no idea.

Where ever you found it should supply the answers to these questions.

Where did you find it?

Is it wrong? Do I need to find something else?

Hey,

If I am right, then he is using the Camera Class which Pino made here:

It isn't Post #6 that you need, it is what is in Post #5

Hack I have the same error problem here:

Private myCam As iCam

Type 'iCam' is not defined

assafey, have you had a look at the sample project that Pino has included in his post? I think that would make things clearer.

Have you included the iCam class in your project and included any necessary "Imports" to get it to work?
