dilettante (one of the better programmers on this site) posted what seems to be a great example for multiple webcams, capturing their names for selection in menus.

Written in VB6, it may be JUST the thing you are looking for so you can see how to also capture the names of the webcams. As I don't have a webcam on this computer, there is none listed when I run it, but PROBABLY it will work for you just fine: ( I donwloaded mini2, but he has improvements to it)
