http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=83082Hi the link above is a thread that i have a question about... well its not exactly relevent so i posted here instead.
How can i turn the camera on/off with blitz? I need to do this ingame :) are there any dlls out there or is it somehow built in to blitz?
I believe panno had a lib to do this... I cannot honestly for the life of me remember what it was called though. jfk also had a lib for this.
Under Windows you can use the free ESCAPI dll to grab images from webcam(s) with BlitzMax.

@Ross C
thanks I'll email him asap :-)
havent read your email yet but
what will you do ?
if you need a screeny from your webcam for your blitzprogramm ,it is possible with blitz
turn webcam on or off with blitz and winapi will not work so easy without some extra windows.
get imagedata in blitz for a blitzapplication and send it over www works with lastmethyl.rar

thanks panno... im still a bit confused tho. I dont need to get the image the camera is seeing, I need to simply turn it on or off. nothing else.
