However, if the numbers change from time to time, you can search for the device using AxltmmCaptureCtrl1.VideoDevices.Find() before assigning the index you want.

Does this happen when you try change the VideoDevices or when you change the VideoCaptureSizes? What exactly do you mean by 'Switching videos'? Can you please provide me with more details? About the third post, if you have two devices with the same friendly name, there will be instances in VideoDevices with different indices. In this case,  the user should select the device that he wants to use. If you have a different questions, please create a new forum post and give details regarding your question.

You simply set the index to one of the listed device indices. This means, if you want to switch, you do it like this: //Get the 2 index values: old1 = AxltmmCaptureCtrl1.VideoDevices.Selection old2 = AxltmmCaptureCtrl2.VideoDevices.Selection //Clear the selection for both controls AxltmmCaptureCtrl1.VideoDevices.Selection = -1 AxltmmCaptureCtrl2.VideoDevices.Selection = -1 //switch the 2 indices: AxltmmCaptureCtrl1.VideoDevices.Selection = old2 AxltmmCaptureCtrl2.VideoDevices.Selection = old1 Adnan Ismail LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report
