    Remark: A Camera control that uses the DirectShow technology and a compatible Camera control should not be used in the same window.
  • To retrieve an image transmitted by a Camera, specify the video driver used ("General" tab in the control description window). This driver can be defined programmatically with the Driver property or the CameraChangeDriver function.
