Camera Application in my Smart Device Application

Question

My device using Windows Mobile 6.1. Currently, I saw there was camera application in my OS. It was Under Programs -> Picture & Video -> Camera

Once Im open Camera, I can take picture from my device.

My question is, how to make it this camera application in my Smart Device Project? As a result, I can open my Smart Device Project then take picture from that.

Need advice

Answer 1

You can use the CameraCaptureDialog.  Just add a reference to Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms, and then do something like this:

CameraCaptureDialog ccd = new CameraCaptureDialog();
ccd.ShowDialog();
MessageBox.Show(ccd.FileName);

This example will show the CameraCaptureDialog, and allow the user to take a picture.  Once the dialog is dismissed, it will display the path to the picture that was taken.  There are a lot of settings that you can tweak before you call ShowDialog, such as Mode, Title, and Resolution.

Hi

First add the NameSpace as:-  Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms

And writhe below code in a button Click event

 

CameraCaptureDialog cameraCapture = new CameraCaptureDialog();
cameraCapture.Owner = this;
cameraCapture.InitialDirectory = @"\My Documents\My Pictures";
 cameraCapture.DefaultFileName = @"test2";
cameraCapture.DefaultFileName = cameraCapture.DefaultFileName + cecameraDefaultPictureExtension;
        
    try
    {
                
        if (DialogResult.OK == cameraCapture.ShowDialog())
        {
                  string fileName = cameraCapture.FileName;        

       
                  MessageBox.Show("The picture has been successfully captured ");

                  Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(cameraCapture.FileName);

                  
                  pictureBox1.Image = bmp;



         
           }
   }
    catch (ArgumentException ex)
    {
               
     }
