webcam avicap limit to 640x480 ?

[frank10]

I have a Logitech C910 webcam that's capable of 1920x1080p pics.

I want to make a window preview of 1280x720 or more.

I used some DllCall to avicap and user32, like this:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
 
global $gui, $cap, $avi,$user
$avi = DllOpen("avicap32.dll")
$user = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$WM_CAP_START = 0x400
$WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT = $WM_CAP_START + 10

$gui = GUICreate("test",1280,720,100,10)

$cap = DllCall($avi, "int", "capCreateCaptureWindow", "str", "test", "int", BitOR($WS_CHILD,$WS_VISIBLE), _
  "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 1280, "int", 720, "hwnd", $gui, "int", 1)

DllCall($user, "int", "SendMessage", "hWnd", $cap[0], "int", $WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT, "int", 0 , "int", 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

The result is a GUI window of 1280x720 with a webcam frame of 640x480.

If I set 320x240 it gives a correct little pic, but it doesn't set it at a larger pic of 640x480.

How can I display a webcam pic of 1280x720 or more?

Is this a limit of avicap?

Should it be possible to display the webcam in a window with GDI+ or Direct2D ?

Maybe this should reach the larger resolution.

Has someone an example code?

Have you tried the WebCam UDF which is in the Examples section?

[frank10]

Yes, it has the same DllCall I posted above: doesn't work.

Here I simplified more without the scale and preview, but those don't affect the resolution thing.

Edit:

apart the scale command that fills the window but it fills scaling the res, instead I want the original resolution larger than 640 without scaling.
