The WebCamera class make use of an API32 Wrapper Class which contains all the API calls and constants.
WARNING: You MUST keep the instance, otherwise it will be GC and the API32 calls will fail to callback)
How to use syntax:
Decleration and instance of WebCamera.
WebCamera
wc = new WebCamera(this.Handle, this.Width, this.Height);
Handle the ReceivedFrame Event
wc.RecievedFrame+=new WebCamera.RecievedFrameEventHandler(wc_RecievedFrame);
void
wc_RecievedFrame(object o , WebCameraEventArgs e)
{
//throw new NotImplementedException();
}
