Automating Webcam Photo Capture within FileMaker (Windows)

Automating Webcam Photo Capture within FileMaker (Windows) | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
OK folks, here is a hack for you.

The Challenge: Capturing images from a web cam into FileMaker on Windows.

I was able to achieve this previously on a Mac using AppleScript, but there is no similar easy inter-application scripting language on Windows. FileMaker Go on mobile has the ability to grab photos right from the camera on an iPhone or iPad.

Most PCs these days have a webcam plugged in and many laptops have built-in cameras, but so far FileMaker Inc., does not directly support the capability of taking photos in its desktop applications.

Hopefully this feature will be added going forward.

In the meantime, this hack provides a workaround.
