Opening and Handling Devices: Open Multiple Devices

The resulting application looks as follows:

When the "Open Device 1..." button is clicked, the application stops the image data stream (.LiveStop). Then, .ShowDeviceSettingsDialog activates a built-in dialog that allows a device to be selected. This device's live image data stream is then displayed using .LiveStart:

Private Sub btnOpenDevice1_Click()

    If ICImagingControl1.LiveVideoRunning Then
        ICImagingControl1.LiveStop
    End If

    ICImagingControl1.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog

    If ICImagingControl1.DeviceValid Then
        ICImagingControl1.LiveStart
    End If

End Sub

To simultaneously start a second live video stream, another IC Imaging Control should be dragged onto the dialog, as is illustrated below.

Private Sub btnOpenDevice2_Click()

    If ICImagingControl2.LiveVideoRunning Then
        ICImagingControl2.LiveStop
    End If

    ICImagingControl2.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog

    If ICImagingControl2.DeviceValid Then
        ICImagingControl2.LiveStart
    End If

End Sub
