Mic

How do you get input from the MIC and possibly a WebCam?

To get input from the Microphone, you could use the mciSendString function with the record command:

VB Code:

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As Any, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long
                                       
Private Sub cmdRecord_Click()
 
    'Open a WaveAudio called Record
    mciSendString "open new type waveaudio Alias rec", 0&, 0, 0
    'Start Recording
    mciSendString "record rec", 0&, 0, 0
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
 
    'Stops recording
    mciSendString "stop rec", 0&, 0, 0
    'Saves the sound
    mciSendString "save rec C:\Windows\Desktop\MyWav.wav", 0&, 0, 0
    'Close "Record"
    mciSendString "close rec", 0&, 0, 0
                                       
End Sub

OK Great! :D
Also, Do you know how I could monitor the MIC levels so that I only record when the input amplitude is above a certain level?

Thanks

PS. Also the WebCam thing?

As for the webcam, you can try some of the controls at www.shrinkwrapvb.com They deal with video capturing.

Thanks
