CaptureApp: Could not open camera

[Thomas H.]

Hello everybody,

i have a problem. I have compile the example program CapturApp from IVT with Code = 0 (0x0). But i get the message from the console: Could not open camera.

I have traced the program and found out that the program have a problem with the camera driver:

// connect to driver
if (!capDriverConnect(m_hCaptureWnd, m_nDriverIndex))
{
DestroyWindow(m_hCaptureWnd);
m_hCaptureWnd = 0;
return false;
}

The Program enter the if source and return false. The camera is am Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000. It makes no problems with other programs, for example: skype.

Who can help me?

Greetings

Hello datatom,

if you open skype, then CaptureApp should work.
I don't know why. I'am looking for a solution as well.
