Library - No events after CameraConnected

Post by itsamaik » Mon Apr 30, 2018 6:28 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to use the library of DigiCamControl (2.0.73-beta). I've installed the NuGet package in a C# Console Application for testing. In this application, I've hooked up some basic Console.Writeline's to the events and logging class to see what is happening. The library detects my Canon EOS 600D and fires the CameraConnected event, but doesn't fire any PhotoCaptured/CameraDisconnected-events after that moment.

This is my testcode:

Code: Select all

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var DeviceManager = new CameraDeviceManager();

            DeviceManager.CameraConnected += (e) => {
                Console.WriteLine($"Connected {e.DeviceName} {e.IsConnected} {e.SerialNumber}");
                DeviceManager.SelectedCameraDevice = e;
                Console.WriteLine("Taking photo");
                e.CapturePhotoNoAf();
                Console.WriteLine("Took photo");
            };
            DeviceManager.PhotoCaptured += (sender, eventArgs) => { Console.WriteLine("OK"); };
            DeviceManager.CameraDisconnected += (e) => { Console.WriteLine("Disconnected"); };

            DeviceManager.UseExperimentalDrivers = true;
            DeviceManager.DisableNativeDrivers = false;

            Log.LogError += (e) =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
            };
            Log.LogDebug += (e) =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"DEBUG: {e.Message}");
            };
            Log.LogInfo += (e) =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"INFO: {e.Message}");
            };

            Console.WriteLine("Enter to continue");
            Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("ConnectToCamera()");
            DeviceManager.ConnectToCamera();

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
And this is the output:

Code: Select all

Enter to continue

ConnectToCamera()
DEBUG: New canon camera found !
DEBUG: Pas 1

DEBUG: Connection device start
DEBUG: Connection device \\?\usb#vid_04a9&pid_3218#5&3095c79&0&2#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}

The strange thing is that it is able to make a photo during the CameraConnected-event, but even then it doesn't fire the PhotoCaptured event. If I take a photo manually it doesn't fire either.

I've stripped the code down as far as I could, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm basically doing the exact same thing as CameraControl.Devices.Example and that one does work.

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I think the problem is the canon sdk require message pump in the application, the console application don't use such thing.
Take a look on this forum https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forum ... icesnative
maybe helps.

Right on point, perfect, thank you! I managed to get it working within my app as well by taking the message pump into consideration. Thank you for the help and the amazing library!
