Embedded video using Netmeeting SDK and VC++ |
|
|
Hi all,
I am working on an application using Visual C++ 6.0 which embeds the
video portion of Netmeeting right into the application. I'm led to
believe that this can be done because the Netmeeting SDK has an
included example showing exactly what I want to do, except it's inside
a web page via ActiveX.
I've also seen NDNM3, an offshoot which lets you embed the video
directly as an OCX but it appears it was written for those who wish to
use the Netmeeting SDK functionality with Visual Basic.
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how best to proceed with
this? The NDNM3 OCX seems to be alot more intuitive but I can't help
the nagging feeling that there must be a way to embed the video using
the regular Netmeeting SDK. All of the VC++ examples included with the
SDK are for ways to externally call the Netmeeting application as a
separate window. It looks easy as pie if I wanted to attempt this
using a web page (using the mode "PreviewNoPause"), so I can't imagine
it being difficult if I want to use this under Visual C++.
I've scoured Google and all newsgroups thoroughly but haven't seem to
be able to find anyone who's tried to do what i'm attempting.
Thanks in advance!

Yes -- that is its general purpose. I am not sure if it is easy or possible
to use the activex component from C++.

Yes a third party developer produced wrappers VB.

I don't have specific suggestions(not being a C programmer) but the afaik
the SDK is designed to do just the kind of thing you want to do. It doesn't
offer a "packaged" object just for doing video though like you seem to be
looking for -- you have to program at a more basic level.
There certainly have been a few samples of doing what you want to do
produced ( basically NetMeeting functionality in a custom package with
added features) so it is possible

Yeah i'd be shocked if it didn't allow me to do this, which is probably
why it's eating at me so much.

If you know of any examples out there that embed the video directly
into a Visual C++ application I'd greatly appreciate it if you were
able to point me to them. The examples included with the SDK are great
for seeing how the COM API is used, but all of the C++ exmaples call
the NetMeeting application as a separate executable.
Thanks for your comments.

I can't point to anything specific -- the ones I vaguely remember were
products that have long since died ( and weren't available as source, just
finished products).
Isn't there an avphone sample in the sdk that implmenents a basic version
of Netmeeting?

Thanks to a bit of luck I think I've found what I've been looking for.
The avphone3 SDK example is in VC++ and does exactly what I'm wanting.
Unfortunately for whatever reason they removed the avphone3 example
from the current version of the SDK. Luckily Google found a link to an
old copy which does contain this example:
http://web.archive.org/web/20021219004557/www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting/authors/SDK/NM3SDK.EXE
For any in the future that come across this problem, take a gander at
avphone3. Thanks to all who took the time to help!

Ah -- yes I had forgotten that that sample was removed in the current SDK
-- I have no idea why -- seems somewhat perverse on Microsoft's part.
