Properties
Design controls
shown above:
- Capture method
provides options for either built-in camera or
other cameras, and control of the size of the image
captured with built-in camera, which can be important
for wireless transmissions
- Folder:
on Pocket PC containing images from camera, default is
\My Documents\My Pictures. However, if the camera doesn't
generate or use a 'My Pictures' folder, the path might
simply be \My Documents. If the nominated folder contains
sub-folders, they will also be searched for the latest JPG
image. Some Pocket PC Phone cameras generate a sub-folder
for each day an image is taken, and the Folder path should
be \My Documents.
Option enables 'Delete the file after storing' to delete JPG from Pocket PC
after capturing in project session. Note, with some
Pocket PC Phones this may cause images to be given the same
number as the previous image before deletion; test system
before using this deletion option.
