Opening and Handling Devices: Open with Shipped Dialog Box

The following programming example illustrates how you can use one of IC Imaging Control's built in dialog boxes. This dialog lets you select a device and determine its basic settings. When the user clicks "Open Device", the program stops the live video stream (.LiveStop). Then it activates the build-in-dialog that enables the end user to select a video capture device with .Showdevicesettingsdialog. After the user clicks on "OK", the program displays the live image data stream from the selected video capture device (.LiveStart).).

The built-in dialog looks as follows:

The sample application's window looks as follows:

[C#]
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if( icImagingControl1.LiveVideoRunning )
        icImagingControl1.LiveStop();

    icImagingControl1.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog();

    if( icImagingControl1.DeviceValid )
        icImagingControl1.LiveStart();
}
