connect Camera with VB

[matrik02]

I just want to get general idea. It is possible to connect USB camera with Visual basic and then view the video using vb interface

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

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...

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 ?

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

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.

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??

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.
