Events

RadWebCam exposes the following events, specific for the control:

SnapshotTaken

The SnapshotTaken event fires when the "Take snapshot" button is pressed or when you call the TakeSnapshot method of RadWebCam.

The purpose of the event is to notify you that a snapshot has been taken and you need to take action, like saving it to a file.

The event arguments are of type SnapshotTakenEventArgs which exposes a Snapshot property (of type Image).

• C#
• VB.NET

        private void RadWebCam1_SnapshotTaken(object sender, SnapshotTakenEventArgs e)
        {
            Image snapshot = e.Snapshot;
            // here you save the source to a file, in memory, or to show it in the UI 
        }

    Private Sub RadWebCam1_SnapshotTaken(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SnapshotTakenEventArgs)
        Dim snapshot As System.Drawing.Image = e.Snapshot
    End Sub

CameraError

The CameraError event fires when one of the expected camera errors appears.

The event can be used to notify you about the corresponding error, or to replace the error message shown in the control.

The event arguments are of type CameraErrorEventArgs and they expose an Error property that contains information about the error. The Error property is of type ErrorInfo which gives you access to the message and state of the error via the Message and ErrorState properties.

• C#
• VB.NET

        private void RadWebCam1_CameraError(object sender, CameraErrorEventArgs e)
        { 
            if (e.Error.ErrorState == CameraErrorState.NoCamera)
            {
                e.Error.Message = "Cannot detect a camera device.";
            }
        }

    Private Sub RadWebCam1_CameraError(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CameraErrorEventArgs)
        If e.[Error].ErrorState = CameraErrorState.NoCamera Then
            e.[Error].Message = "Cannot detect a camera device."
        End If
    End Sub
