The WM_CAP_DLG_VIDEOSOURCE message displays a dialog box in which the user can control the video source. The Video Source dialog box might contain controls that select input sources; alter the hue, contrast, brightness of the image; and modify the video quality before digitizing the images into the frame buffer. You can send this message explicitly or by using the capDlgVideoSource macro.
