Does any one know any source code for any language that would make a connected camera take a picture and save it? If it helps, I'm using an outdated Argus DC 1600.

Is it a webcam?
If not, set up your cd-rom drive so that it hits the button to take a picture and use
Code
#include <mmsystem.h>
...
 mciSendString("open cdaudio",0,0,0);
 mciSendString("set cdaudio door open",0,0,0);
 mciSendString("close cdaudio",0,0,0);

Hmm... that might not work in this case. However, it COULD be a webcam, it depends on which computer I use.

I found some code for python that I'm going to try out:

Code
import appuifw, e32, camera


app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
#Define the exit function
def quit():
    #Close the viewfinder
    camera.stop_finder()
    #Release the camera so that other programs can use it
    camera.release()
    app_lock.signal()
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = quit

#Function for displaying the viewfinder
def vf(im):
    appuifw.app.body.blit(im)

#Function for taking the picture
def take_picture():
    #Take the photo
    photo = camera.take_photo('RGB', (1024, 768))
    #Save it at maximum quality
    photo.save(photo_savepath, quality = 100)
    #Restart the viewfinder
    camera.stop_finder()
    camera.start_finder(vf)

photo_savepath = u"C:\\photo.jpg"  
#This is the path and name for storing the photo

#Set the application's body to Canvas
appuifw.app.body = appuifw.Canvas()

#Start the viewfinder
camera.start_finder(vf)

#Set the script title
appuifw.app.title = u"Capture Photo"

#Set the application's menu with the option to take the photo
appuifw.app.menu=[(u"Take photo", take_picture),(u"Exit",quit)]

#Wait for the user to request the exit
app_lock.wait()


Problem solved.... FOR NOW >.>

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Westernhagen either, Fanta vier much better! But they didn't drop the lyrics that fit the situation. Farty: Ich bin wieder hier; nobody: in meinem Revier; Me: war nie wirklich weg
