Not able to start camera when window is loaded

[redaz808]

When I start automatically the webcamdevice when the screen is loaded , I get an exception. If I use the same code to start the camera only when I click the button, it works!

    private void InitializeComboBox()
    {
        comboBox.ItemsSource = webCameraControl.GetVideoCaptureDevices();

        if (comboBox.Items.Count > 0)
        {
            comboBox.SelectedItem = comboBox.Items[0];

            var cameraId = (WebCameraId)comboBox.SelectedItem;
            List<WebCameraId> cameras = new List<WebCameraId>(webCameraControl.GetVideoCaptureDevices());
            webCameraControl.StartCapture(cameras[0]);
        }    
    }

When the code jumps to InitializeCaptureGraph, the program crashes and I get an error "Failed to add a video capture filter" Any idea how I can make it work?

Thanks,

Hi there,

Are you sure your screen is completely loaded? The thing is that the control requires a created window in order to start a video stream.
