  1. On the "Creation" tab, in the "Usual controls" group, expand "Image" and select "Web Camera".
  2. Click where you want to create the control in the page. The control appears in the editor.
To view the characteristics of the control, select "Description" in the context menu.
Required configuration

Retrieving an image broadcasted by a "Web camera"

To retrieve an image broadcasted by a "Web camera" control:
  1. On the workstation connected to the web camera: set parameters for recording the image transmitted by a web camera (file name, refresh rate, web camera used, etc.).. This setting can be performed:
    • by the software supplied with the "web camera".
    • by the "WD WebCam.exe" application available from the PC SOFT site (download page, "Other software" paragraph).
      The image file must be accessible from any computer that uses the WEBDEV website.
      Remark: The source code for "WD WebCam" is available in the examples supplied with WINDEV.
  2. On the development workstation: enter the image file linked to the Web Camera field ("General" tab in the field description window)..
