Example Programs and Demos for Win32/x64

The source code for the following demo programs are installed in separate EXAMPLES subdirectories (such as C:\Program Files\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS Multimedia XX\Examples\Ltmm\Cpp\capture). You can specify the root directory during installation.

The executables are installed in Bin subdirectories (such as C:\Program Files\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS Multimedia XX\Bin\CDLL\Win32). The executables that are shipped have "_Original" appended to the name. The ones you build do not have that added, so that you can distinguish between the two.

Note:

You can run the example programs on your system by clicking the appropriate buttons in the local help. If you try to run an example program that is not on your system, an error message will appear.
