Hi,

I have a TImageEnFolderMView that I'm using to show images on the file system. I am "driving" that from a shell treeview component (select folder in treeview and display contents in ImageEnFolderMView1.

When I have a camera connected (in my case a Canon EOS) the camera shows up in the shell treeview. When I select that folder, I use SetFolderEx() on the TImageEnFolderMView component, but I get the following:

Error trying to create file handle for "This PC\Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL\". Error code: 3.

I saw that WPD was implemented in v6.... I guess I am using the wrong component? What's the recommended way to browse a connected camera that shows up in the Windows shell?

Many thanks
Stuart

The call stack if it helps:

iexWindowsFunctions             TIEFolderWatchThread.Create
iexWindowsFunctions             TIEFolderWatch.AllocWatchThread
iexWindowsFunctions             TIEFolderWatch.Start
iexFolderMView          302  +0 TImageEnFolderMView.StartMonitoring
iexFolderMView          302  +0 TImageEnFolderMView.RefreshFileListEx
iexFolderMView          302  +0 TImageEnFolderMView.SetFolderEx

Hi Stuart

At this stage, TImageEnFolderMView only supports standard Windows folders, not devices via WPD. I'll add that to the to-do list.

Take a look at the demo:

\ImageAcquisition\PortableDevices\WPDDemo.dpr

It would be fairly easy to convert that to use a TImageEnMView control instead of a TListView.

Hi,

Quick question, is there a way to just get the thumbnail from the device in WPD?

At the moment I'm using the TIEPortableDevices.CopyStreamFromDevice which is then scaled down as the thumbnail.

Thanks,

Stuart

Hi Stuart

If you email me, I can give you an update that allows you to request a thumbnail when using TIEPortableDevices.CopyStreamFromDevice.

I will create a new demo soon too, showing TImageEnMView navigation of a portable device (extend the functionality in the PortableDevices demo).
