.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / January 2006PDA with camera and thumbpad
Hi All, Does anyone know of a PDA that has a camera and a thumbpad ? I know you can get a camera attachment for the HP and use it's sdk. Thumbpad is a easier to use for some of the targeted users, because the sip is a little harder to use, and can hide some input controls There is also supposed to a camera API in CF 2, has anyone had any experience with it yet ? Would be nice to also have internet access, so I can use a web service to upload the data and photos. Cheers Robert The Camera API is a feature of Windows Mobile 5.0, not .NETCF v2.0 - so any WM5.0 device with a camera should support the API, you can use it from a .NETCF v1.0 or 2.0 project (and there is a native code API too). The functionality is found in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.CameraCaptureDialog The HTC Wizard (iMate K-Jam) has the camera and keypad (although its a slide-out one not fixed) and runs WM5.0. It has built in WiFi, Bluetooth and GPRS.

The quality of the camera is rather poor. The CamraCaptrueDialog is missing one thing, the option to just capture a picture without using the "camera software" of the phone. I would lik to just capture a picture from .net cf 2.0 without the needing to click the capture button.

I did look at the HP 6515 and feature wise it does seem to have what I need. HP must not be far off releasing Windows Mobile 5 version. The HP SDK is $199 as part of the developer program, so not too bad. Has anyone had experience susing the SDK, and any tips or tricks I should look out for ? I would like to present my own dialog to capture the picture, with an option to retake if they don't like it, and then have the ability to save and name the photo the way I like. Capturing a short video may also be an option. The final photos that are sent to the website will at a resolution smaller than 640x480 so both devices have more than adequate cameras.

While this does shed a little more light on the subject, it doesn't quite solve my problem. I'm developing an application which uses the CameraCaptureDialog on a 6700 PPC. Once the CameraCaptureDialog is displayed the user can click on the tools icon which takes the user to a Camera Settings screen where the user can alter the capture format, capture size and several other options. How do I prevent the user from altering the format and size? How do determine if the user clicks on the tools icon in the CameraCaptureDialog? Thanks!
