Opening and Handling Devices: List Available Devices

The functionality to list all video capture devices installed on a system is provided by the collection ICImagingControl.Devices . First of all, a listbox is dragged onto the form and labeled listBox1. The listbox is used to list all available video capture devices. To add the names of the video capture devices available on the system to the listbox, it's DataSource simply has to be set to icImagingControl1.Devices.

[C#]
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    listBox1.DataSource = icImagingControl1.Devices ;
}

Selecting a video capture device and starting the live video is simple:

[C#]
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    icImagingControl1.Device = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
    icImagingControl1.LiveStart();
}
