Windows Mobile 5.0

[Nuno Magalhaes]

What would be the API for the cameras, the DirectShow? Is is possible
to use DirectShow in Windows Mobile 5.0 (programmed in C#) and get the
bitmap data at the same time it is displayed?

Thank you very much,
Nuno Magalhães.

If you have VS2005 Beta and Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK installed, you can add a
reference to Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms and then add a
CameraCaptureDialog to your code - this will display the standard camera app
to the user and return a filename to the captured jpg. I'm not sure about
directly accessing the camera through DirectX, it's certainly not something
possible through Managed code directly...
The VSD team published a VB.NET snippet for using the CameraCaptureDialog

Hello Peter,

I've installed the SDK Windows Mobile 2003 based for Pocket PC's since
my OS version of my PDA is Windows Mobile 2003 SE. After installation
(85 MB aproximately) I didn't notice anything new in Visual Studio .NET
2003. I didn't even notice the controls Microsoft.WindowsMobile...
where are they? Should I include some reference? I'm I missing
something?

I want the SDK since with Microsoft.Windows.Forms I can't control the
window size on my pocket pc and the virtual keyboard always ends by
disappearing.

Intelisence doesn't give my any WindowsMobile references.

Thanks for any reply,
Nuno Magalhaes.

Nuno,

You need to install the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK.
