Taking a Picture with MS WIA

Rather than deal with low level WIA calls, you might want to purchase a control:

Jim.

and by the way, depending on what your doing, dealing with the WIA object library directly may not be all that hard.  For example, it might be as simple as this:

Dim commondialog1 As Object
Dim img As ImageFile
Set commondialog1 = CreateObject("wia.commondialog")
Set img = commondialog1.ShowAcquireImage

img.SaveFile ("c:\test.jpg")

Jim.

I should add that on that link in the first comment, look at the very bottom and view the sample code for frmCapture

Some of it involves dealing with their control, but a lot of it shows you how to work with the WIA lib.

He just said he wanted to take a picture...not sure it will be from a webcam.

He's read my WIA articles and asked for this in an unrelated Q
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28566220/Ms-Access-Search-for-text-in-a-Memo-Fied.html
The phrasing there was using WIA to take a pic (using an attached camera/webcam)

Way back, I worked with point-and-shoots that, when jacked in with USB, could be triggered to take a picture.
None of the point-and-shoots in the outfit now (various models of Canon PowerShots) have that ability anymore.
Do you know of any?
