Connecting to a camera
-
I'm trying to build this application that looks at a folder and displays new pictures. I got that to work flawlessly, but there is one more part that is having more issues. The camera that I want to watch gets recognized as just that - a camera (or scanner). Thus, I can't tell my app to watch it, creating a useless application. I've poked around a bit, but to no avail. Perhaps somebody can shed some light on this.

You may want to Google for "windows image acquisition[^]". Why look in a folder when you can get the image directly from the camera. Maybe... it depends on if your camera supports it or not.
