i am writing an app that preview then capture video from a Video Device (ex:Cam), i didn't found a solution to take a snapshot during capturing with a ASF format.
so i thought i could take a picture from the preview panel but the background-image didn't contain it, and the image property of is null if i use a Picturebox .
do anyone knew how Directshow use the panel or Picturebox to preview video?
