I very quick search of the VfW.bas and my code (that I scrapped over 6 years ago!) reveals capSetCallbackOnVideoStream() macro and the associated WM_CAP_SET_CALLBACK_ERROR message. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems (Replies direct to my email address will be ignored.

Yeah, same idea. Nice looking implementation. Mine started as a simple utility to write to or capture the clipboard at the command line.
