Thread: minicam container for embedding

This is a very good idea.

Is it possible to see your source code to see how you have done that ?

Thanks ...

Thank you, it's very cool !

here is the code it is fairly straight forward it will work to embed any program

Code:

#include <GUIconstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

$hGui = GUICreate('cams', 800, 508, 100, 100, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_SIZEBOX, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
GUISetState()

; Open minicam
Run("minicam.exe")
WinWaitActive("CuriousTech - MiniCam 1")

; Resize MINICAM to fit
$hminicam = WinGetHandle("CuriousTech - MiniCam 1")
WinMove($hminicam, "", 0, 0, 400, 254)
Sleep(0)

; Open minicam
Run("minicam.exe")
WinWaitActive("CuriousTech - MiniCam 2")

; Resize MINICAM to fit
$hminicam1 = WinGetHandle("CuriousTech - MiniCam 2")
WinMove($hminicam1, "", 0, 255, 400, 254)
Sleep(0)

; Open minicam
Run("minicam.exe")
WinWaitActive("CuriousTech - MiniCam 3")

; Resize MINICAM to fit
$hminicam2 = WinGetHandle("CuriousTech - MiniCam 3")
WinMove($hminicam2, "", 400, 0, 400, 254)
Sleep(0)

; Open minicam
Run("minicam.exe")
WinWaitActive("CuriousTech - MiniCam 4")

; Resize MINICAM to fit
$hminicam3 = WinGetHandle("CuriousTech - MiniCam 4")
WinMove($hminicam3, "", 400, 255, 400, 254)
Sleep(0)

; Set minicam as child of our GUI
$hOriginalParent = _WinAPI_SetParent($hminicam, $hGUI)
$hOriginalParent1 = _WinAPI_SetParent($hminicam1, $hGUI)
$hOriginalParent3 = _WinAPI_SetParent($hminicam2, $hGUI)
$hOriginalParent4 = _WinAPI_SetParent($hminicam3, $hGUI)


While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ;Reset minicam to original parent
            _WinAPI_SetParent($hminicam, $hOriginalParent)
            Sleep(500)
            WinClose($hminicam)
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Enjoy,

Looks good.

I made one small change to MiniCam so you can hit the borderless button and it doesn't reposition. Don't use fullscreen mode though.

cool thanks and thank you for the not fullscreening warning as I haven't tried fullscreen yeat. just figured it would work

figures as I had planed on being able to fullscreen lol but hey i can live without it

Well, download it again. I made it do fullscreen, but there's no overlay buttons and you have to double-tap.

thanks yonu

cool thanks Curiosity
