Hello everyone

This is my first post on the DB Pro forum so just want to say hello to everyone, I am a professional programmer working for a well established UK software producer and have an honours degree in software engineering.

Ive been using DB for a while over the last year or so as a hobby in my own time and have just upgraded to DB Pro.

Ive got a couple of issues which I wish to bring up incase there are already solutions out here in the DB Pro community.

1. The FTP commands are a great addition, but how about WEBCAM control anyone ever investigates capturing images from a Webcam so they can be FTP'd from DBPro ie keeping it all within the DBPro framework?

2. How about downloading an image from a website from within DBPro, ie you can use FTP because you might not have necessary login, passwords but you can right click the web picture and use the "SaveAs" from IE?

Ive seen both these done in Vis Basic, anyway of doing from DBPro?

Cheers
Chris

There were two guys at the german forums who created a webcam capture dll and used it with DBPro as far as I remember. But I forgot who did it sorry.

The 2nd one is quite important I reckon - we don't need a "fetch image" command, what we need is full control over the TCP/IP connection so you can request anything (web pages, images, sounds, etc). That would be an extremely useful command set to have in. As for the webcam stuff, don't hold your breath Perhaps you can write your own DLL for it?

Cheers,

I have actually found a web cam dll, however there was no documentation, and all I am managing to capture at the moment is an image of my screen

But will keep playing with it and have also mailed the author will let you know if I get it working.
