Webcam - How To Use This Dll?

[ConsultingJoe]

This is from gamemaker, this is the object control code, does any one know how to use this,

check out this post

we need help with the dllcall and the gui display

{
show_message("GM WebCAM DLL by VitalDragon#Press Space to Capture Frame");
init();
createCam(0,0,250,250); //createCam(x,y,width,height)
connect(30); //connect(FPS)
}

{
saveToDIB("test.bmp");
sprite_replace(sprite1,"test.bmp",0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
}

{
disconnect();
}

Thanks guys

so no one has any ideas about this? webcam functions would be amazing

[ConsultingJoe]

I think the calls would go something like this... but I do not have a webcam...

$a = DLLCall("webcam.dll","hwnd","createCam","int",0,"int",0,"int",400,"int",400)
MsgBox(4096,"",$a[0])
$a = DLLCall("webcam.dll","str","connect","int",30)
MsgBox(4096,"",$a[0])
$a = DLLCall("webcam.dll","str","saveToDIB","str","test.bmp")
MsgBox(4096,"",$a[0])
$a = DLLCall("webcam.dll","str","disconnect")
MsgBox(4096,"",$a[0])

that didnt work, they didn;t return arrays. thanks for organizing it tho I will keep trying

Actually something did happen, I got this:

0x003C1000

NULL

NULL

NULL

I switched the last three dllcalls to int and I got:

0x003C1000

3936256

3936256

3936256

But no bmp output. Any idea?

Thanks man
