Hi All,
Basically I need to insert a webcam into a mainform without it upsetting the code I have originally put in it(It's in VB).

More Detail:
My mainform has a textbox which displays realtime readings from a usb loadcell.

I have found solutions for webcams online but my problem is i don't know how to add the webcam code to the form without it upsetting the code for the loadcell!

Is there an easier or better way of doing this?
I would need to have the webcam IN the form!

Thanks, james.

Not a solution, but I am now opening the webcam as an external program from my main form.

Basically I published and installed the webcam program and call it using a button with the following code:

Private Sub cbActivateCamera_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\ ---enter program destination to its exe file-- ")
    End Sub

The following code closes the external program using the Close button:

Private Sub cbCloseCamera_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(" --program name--- ")
        For Each p As Process In pProcess
            p.Kill()
        Next
    End Sub

Again this is not a solution to my problem rather a temporary fix so i'm still open to all suggestions or ideas.

Thanks,
James.
