Author Camera Interface with Device Emulator
Simha

2005-05-27, 8:58 am

Hi,

I have just started working on Windows Mobile 5 for smartphone
development. Currently I am using the Device Emulator and not the actual
physical device. I wanted to test the camera interface code so I connected a
USB camera to my PC. My query is: I tried to build and run the CeCamera
sample app (present in samples/CPP/win32 folder) and I am getting an error of
"Specified file not present". I would like to know whether the operation
which am doing is vaild or not. and is there any workaround to test the
Cecamera app with device Emulator and my USB camera?

Expecting your useful responses..

Thanks
Simha

There isn't a way the emulator can hook up to a desktop camera, neither is
there a null camera driver, which would allow you to test your code and
return a placeholder image. Currently the only way you'll be able to test
your code is if you can get hold of a device, which could be tricky in the
short-term.
