High resolution webcam?

I've created a program using winAPI that i use to make time-lapse video. This uses the clipboard to grab webcam snapshots, but that method seems quite limited.

I've recently gotten a new webcam that supports 1600x1200 resolution, though my searching, I have not found any way that through PB that I can take full advantage of the full resolution. I'm sure that I'm just missing something, because PB can do anything :)

Has anyone else had any experience programming in PB for high resolution web cams? Any tips, pointers, or even just a place to start would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I think this is going to be the route to take:

There is a dll called escapi.dll which works with 32-bit purebasic:

It works with my webcam, but that's a low resolution one.

Look at the imports of the exe for the built in webcam viewer for windows, or for 3rd parts software.
