NEW Web Capture Example App!
Software Tool & Die Inc.
(STD) are please to announce a New Web Camera Capture example application. This application utilizes the new "wn_webcam_master" window class from the STD Framework version 2026 R4 that then embeds the PB built-in Web Browser class object inherited from the "vs_wb_master" framework class. This dynamic duo then implements the live feed and capture of your PC's WebCam into your PB Application! From there, the App User cam take a snap shot of the WebCam's current image which saves that to a PB Picture Control. From there the App can then save the image in the Web Browser to the browser's download area. The example app then allows the App User to open up the files in the download area from PB and to select the captured image for further processing.
The STD Framework (free & open source) version 2026 R4 was
used for building this example application. So features
like, for example: Logging, Debugging, Performance Monitoring, Windows Resources Tracking, Themes, Messaging, etc features are standard framework behaviours. In which all these features are then in the this example application because of the use of framework inheritance. The WebCam Capture Example application demonstrates the prowess of the new "Web Browser" built-in PB system class, and the framework's derived ancestor from that - plus, the PowerScript code required to engage it's features.
Key Run / Wait Example App features ...
- This new app is built using the latest PB 2025 R2 version build 6464.
- Implemented the entire WebCam Capture uses only pure PowerScript code!
- Supplied P-Cpde and M-Code App EXE compiles of the WebCam Capture App.
- Utilizes the latest STD Framework 2026 R4 ancestors for all working example app classes.
- Tested the WebCam Capture example App on W11 O/S version 26H2 (new) build 26300.9550.

| An actual Live Webcam Feed & Capture test! |
The Webcam Capture Example application is a good example of a PB App that it is all driven by the STD framework. This framework now
allows the
PB developer to easily build modern GUI Application interfaces that are required / desired by most today's App users. Implementing all the "bells & whistles" just by using object inheritance. It also assists the PB Applications with interfacing to the many O/S low level features with ease! Thus the framework based applications allow the
PB developer to be exponentially more productive as well.
