This function will start the video stream preview in the window or the control specified through the hWndParent parameter.
This function will internally set the image directory of the captured still images to the device's default path unless you called the L_WiaSetPropertyString function using the WIA_DPV_IMAGES_DIRECTORY property ID and the directory path you wish to use before calling the L_WiaStartVideoPreview function.
Since WIA does not support video devices in Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista or later, this function will only work with Windows XP or earlier operating systems.
For an example, refer to L_WiaIsVideoPreviewAvailable.
