We are attempting to add a new webcam image capture feature to our flagship Powerbuilder application. We would like to be able control image capture via a PowerBuilder window but are having difficulty finding a solution that works with Windows 10 or Windows 11.
A few years ago the obvious choice would have be a camera with a TWAIN driver connecting to a TWAIN ActiveX control instantiated in our PowerBuilder application. Unfortunately Microsoft appears to no longer support TWAIN and camera manufacturers no longer provide TWAIN drivers.
Microsoft has replaced TWAIN with WIA (Windows Image Acquisition). However, we have not been able to find a WIA ActiveX control to plug into our PowerBuilder application.
Any knowledge or assistance you can provide concerning capturing images from a PowerBuilder application would be appreciated.
