how to reach image data of a webcam?

[cedric]

Hello,

I'm developing a tool that process image from a webcam. Is there any
component in Borland that allows to read the usb port? Somebody knows how to
reach the data of a webcam?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Is there any component in Borland that allows to read the usb port?

Not natively, no. But there are third-party components for that.

The Win32 API has its own built-in capabilities for working with webcams and
other video devices. You don't need to access the USB port directly
yourself. Look at capCreateCaptureWindow() and related functions. There is
a whole chapter in the Win32 API documentation on this topic:
