First Steps VC6

Creating the Project

Please run one of the demo programs from the "start menu", in order to verify that you are able to open a video capture device and display a live image.

Start a new project by selecting "New" in the "File" menu. In the dialog that then appears, select "MFC AppWizard(exe)". Enter "FirstStep" into the "Project name" field and choose the location at which the project directory should be created. The paths to the required include and library files depend on the location of this directory. The examples shown here assume the directory is created in the "IC Imaging Control" top level directory, which is "Program Files\The Imaging Source Europe GmbH\IC Imaging Control 3.0" by default. Press "OK" to confirm the dialog.

Now the AppWizard asks you how to set up the project. In the first dialog, select "Single document", "Document/View architecture support" and the language that should be supported by your application. Now click on "Next".

In the second step, choose "None" for the database to include and click on "Next".

In the third step, select "None" for the document support to include. The check boxes for "other support to include" should be deselected. Now click on "Next".

In the fourth step, deselect all check boxes and click on "Next".

In the fifth step, select "MFC Standard" for the style of the project. Select "Yes" to create source file comments. Select "As a shared DLL" at the question on how the MFC library should be used. Finally click on "Next".

In the last step, the AppWizard shows you which classes will be created. Click on "Finish" to complete the creation of the project.

Now a dialog box summarizes the created project. Confirm this dialog with a click on "Finish".
