First Steps VC.NET

Creating the Project

Please run one of the demo programs from the "start menu", in order to verify that you are able to open a video capture device and display a live image.

Start a new project by selecting "New" -> "Project..." in the "File" menu. In the dialog that appears, choose "Visual C++ Projects" as the project type and "MFC Application" as the template. Enter "FirstStep" in the "Name" text field and choose the location at which the project directory should be created. The paths to the required include and library files depend on the location of this directory. The examples shown here assume the directory is created in the "IC Imaging Control" toplevel directory, which is My Documents\IC Imaging Control 3.5 by default. Please keep in mind, "My Documents" may is localized to the language of your operating system. Press "OK" to confirm the dialog.
