Insert a picture from a webcam

[charles92027]

There is an option to insert a picture from a camera, but it doesn't seem to
recognize the webcam that's built in to my laptop. It records video just
fine, but it would be incredibly useful for me to be able to take a picture
with my webcam straight into onenote.

I tried the following in OneNote 2007.

Open OneNote 2007
Select Options from the Tools menu. Select Audio and Video as select your
webcam as the default device.
Select the page you want the video.
From the insert menu select Video Recording.

The result was a video recording from my webcam. The recording included
audio, but the audio quality in my experiment was poor. Sorry I did not have
time today to try to improve the audio. Anyway, a place to start if you do
not receive a better response.

I don't have a problem inserting video, that seems to work fine, it's just
not what I need.
I would like to take a still picture with my webcam directly into OneNote.
The menu says:
Insert->picture->From Scanner or Camera
But when I select that it says there is no device, but there obviously is a
device, I just recorded video with it.

Sorry, I did not understand your post.

Insert picture function is looking for a compatible image file on your
computer, in your camera or one created with your scanner. The output of
your webcam is a video file not an image file.

As far as I know, the only way to insert an webcam image into OneNote is to
first to extract the image from an existing webcam recording or to capture
an image from the webcam in a compatible image file {such as jpg} and then
insert the image into OneNote. I have applications that can extract or
capture. No one step procedure.

I wrote this VBA macro that allows me to take a picture with a webcam and
place it on the clipboard. It runs fine in Excel, but I can't figure out how
to get a VBA macro into OneNote

Option Explicit

Const WM_CAP As Long = &H400
Const WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT As Long = WM_CAP + 10
Const WM_CAP_DRIVER_DISCONNECT As Long = WM_CAP + 11
Const WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY As Long = WM_CAP + 30
Const WS_CHILD As Long = &H40000000
Const WS_VISIBLE As Long = &H10000000

Declare Function SendMessage Lib "User32" Alias "SendMessageA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As
Any) As Long

Declare Function DestroyWindow Lib "User32" (ByVal hndw As Long) As Boolean

Declare Function capCreateCaptureWindowA Lib "avicap32.dll" _
(ByVal lpszWindowName As String, ByVal dwStyle As Long, ByVal x As Long,
ByVal y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, _
ByVal nHeight As Integer, ByVal hWndParent As Long, ByVal nID As
Long) As Long

Declare Function capGetDriverDescriptionA Lib "avicap32.dll" _
(ByVal wDriver As Integer, ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal cbName As Long, ByVal lpszVer As String, ByVal cbVer As Long)
As Boolean

Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "User32" () As Long

Sub WebCamClip()

Dim strName As String
Dim strVer As String
Dim hwnd As Long
Dim iDevice As Long

iDevice = 0
strName = Space(100)
strVer = Space(100)

If capGetDriverDescriptionA(iDevice, strName, 100, strVer, 100) Then

hwnd = capCreateCaptureWindowA(iDevice, WS_CHILD, 0, 0, 640, 480,
GetDesktopWindow(), 0)

If hwnd Then

SendMessage hwnd, WM_CAP_DRIVER_CONNECT, iDevice, 0
SendMessage hwnd, WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY, 0, 0
SendMessage hwnd, WM_CAP_DRIVER_DISCONNECT, iDevice, 0

DestroyWindow hwnd
End If
End If

End Sub

ON does not work with VBA macros.

You would have to write something using the ON-API.
