Ok I'm brand new to purebasic and yes I need some help, It's been years since I did any programming and that was in BlitzBasic on the Amiga

Anyway........ I want to know If I can access my Logitech Webcams through PB? I'm attempting a small chat app to work over my network between 3 PC's. A slice of code would be helpful!

I looked at that code MrVainSCL and It wasn't quite what I was after

I want each chat client to access the webcam directly, I suppose I have to open the logitech dll or something? I am totally stumped! C'mon all you experienced PB coders one of you must be able to help me out.

I ran into some VB VFW examples... Its not as easy as you would
expect... Just reach on Google you will find some nice examples.

Yup, pbdep I have been doing just that, phew talk about
jumping in the deep end!

Ah well nothing like a bit of a challenge!

On a differnt note, when I download source that has librarys with it where do I put them? ie - fmod.dll etc...

Place libraries such as fmod.dll in the compilers dir inside the purebasic dir. this is where the temp .exe file is compiled to during development. when development is finished, compile the code to an .exe and include the dll's with that. Any user coded librarys to extend Purebasic should be put inside the UserLibrarys dir in the Purelibraries dir.
