.NET integration and VGA dual output

[evert]

1. I use directshow in .NET to integrate my USB camera with Labview. In Labview, I have to use a .NET picturebox to receive video information because the output of my .NET dll use .NET pictureBox handle and treat it as a container. I wonder if there is anyway to use Labview native picturebox or IMAQ image output to show the video?

2. Assuming I have two screens connected two a single computer. Is there anyway to show a full screen video on SCREEN 1 while show a thumbnail video on a panel of SCREEN 2?

Thanks.

Hi Evert

 To answer your first question you would need to convert your image type to an IMAQ image type. This might add additional overhead to your acquisition. If you are working in a LabVIEW environment I would recommend installing Vision Development Module and NI-IMAQ for USB cameras. I would recommend using the windraw functions to open up on your second monitor an enlarged version of your image.
