Running external programs inside a QB64 screen
« on: October 24, 2019, 08:59:12 pm »
Dear Friends ;

Is it possible to call an external program to run it inside a QB64 window ?

Could for example call the native WebCamera of W10  and write something over the image ?

Thanks for comments

"Inside" a QB windows seems not to be possible...
"Beside, in parallel, above" of a QB windows, no problem...
Why not yes ?

would require the use of API calls and what nots. It could be done, but on a level of difficulty I would not want to attempt.
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!
