Getting Device Context

Getting Device Context

New D.I.C Head Joined: 23 Jun, 2009 Posts: 5 My Contributions	So I'm making a object tracking program in VB6, and it tracks the dry erase marker I'm using really well. The only problem is, I have to keep the window with the webcam's view in the foreground. I've been using the getforegroundwindow API to get the windows handle to the foreground, and then getting it's device context based on that. Normally, I'd just find the handle to the specific window, and use that to get the device context. Unfortunetly, when I use the handle for the webcam window, the image doesn't show up. So far I've tried to use Spy ++ which basically shows you all the window handles and stuff, but I've been unable to find a handle to the live feed. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, that would be great.
