Opening and Handling Devices: Use Built-In Property Dialogs

IC Imaging Control allows devices settings, such as "Brightness", "Contrast" or "Exposure Time" to be adjusted, using shipped dialog boxes. This brief source code sample, illustrates how to carry out such adjustments.

The resulting application window looks as follows:

The property pages look as follows:

The program starts by activating another built-in dialog to select a device (.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog, to simplify matters this dialog is not shown here). Then, the selected device's live image data stream is displayed using .LiveStart (see image on the right):

Private Sub Form_Load()

    ICImagingControl1.ShowDeviceSettingsDialog

    If ICImagingControl1.DeviceValid Then
        ICImagingControl1.LiveStart
    End If

End Sub

When the "Properties..." button is clicked, the program activates the built-in dialog to adjust the device settings:

Private Sub cmdDeviceParameters_Click()

    ICImagingControl1.ShowPropertyDialog

End Sub
