    Î guess so. Probably you' will have to use DirectX or you can use a 3rd party OCX.

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    i posted an example in codebank (vb6) 2 days ago
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    If you are looking to connect a digital camera then your options are much less.

    Canon cameras - and not all of them - can be accessed from VB. But you need to get an SDK from Canon. I just got one and am waiting for my customer to select a camera model before developing my code.

    Ok - let's be a lot more specific.

    Is this is video camera? Is this a web cam?

    What is the exact product - manufacturer and model please...

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    Someone knows a link to the software Canon CD-SDK 6.12 to interface a digital camera Canon A310 with the old language, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 ?
    Or can someone send me this software ?

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    You have to join the canon developers network - then they give you access to the download SDK's. I still get e-mails every so often about new versions and stopping support of older platforms.

    I also know that there are different ways to join based on the region of the world you are from.

    You must investigate this method from your country. Have you googled yet?

    Just google for

    canon sdk download

    and you will see USA sites and EUROPA sites listed for Canon corporate

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    You can be sure that I tried a long, very long time (several days), Google (Groups, Code and Advanced), Yahoo, MSN, etc. as well as the various sites in the Canon (Asia, Europe, U.S., etc..).
    I want to develop an application using the language Visual Basic Professional 6.0 SP6 and a digital camera Canon PowerShot.
    Only this language !
    Thank you if you want to give me some guidance on.

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    Sorry for not being more clear

    This link

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...nload&aq=f&oq=

    Shows several other links.

    I'm going to guess you are in Europe - right?

    So that google link shows this CANON link

    http://www.didp.canon-europa.com/

    The JOIN NOW link is at the bottom of the page - I can't think of anything else I can tell you about how to get CANON SDK's.

    Are you saying that you cannot find the POWERSHOT SDK at this site? And that you tried to find it after you JOIN'd the CANON DEVELOPER's NETWORK??

    Re: connect Camera with VB

    It's me that I am sorry if I did not explained well (I know very little English)
    As mentioned above, I tried on:
    - Google (Google Groups, Google Code, Google Advanced);
    - Yahoo and Yoho Groups
    - Msn
    and other sites.
    the following words in different clusters (one word, two words, more words, etc..)
    - Canon
    - SDK
    - CDSDK
    - "6:12"
    - PowerShot
    - Download
    - "Remote capture"
    - Etc.. etc..

    I searched on:
    http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/CanonSDK/
    http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=387935
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-...select=1947975
    http://sourceforge.net
    etc.. etc..

    In different sites in the Canon is only the "Canon Digital Camera SDK (CD-SDK v7.3)" that is declared INCOMPATIBLE with the old Visual Basic Pro 6.0 (SP6).
    http://www.developers.canon-europa.c...p/didp_pub.nsf

    The old software Canon SDK vers. 6.12 is gone and I know for a fact that was supported VB6 !
    I have already spent several hours looking for this software, but without effect!
    Thanks for your attention.
