VideoSetDriver (Function)

In french: VidéoChangeDriver

Connects the "Camera" control to a specific driver for video capture.

Caution:

To use this function, a "camera" must be connected to the current computer.
To find out the list of drivers for video capture installed on the current computer, use VideoListDriver (associated with the viDirectShow constant). To determine which driver is currently associated with a Camera control, use the Driver property.

Remark: This function is equivalent to CameraChangeDriver.

// in the LIST_VideoDrivers control
ListAdd(LIST_VideoDriver, VideoListDriver(viDirectShow))
// Uses the second video driver
IF VideoSetDriver(CAM_Camera1, LIST_VideoDrivers[2]) = False THEN
Error("Unable to change driver: " + CR + ...
ErrorInfo())
END
