I am trying to write a software component in Windows 7 that can detect the connection of Nokia lumia 1020 to the PC. Once the connection is detected, the software will fetch all the images in the folder Computer\ \Phone\Pictures\Camera Roll\
I found no code example on how to do that so far... Wonder who have solution for that... If the solution is in c++ it would be perfect!

I worked on Windows Phone and I know the API is really restricted (or not complete at all..) and a lot of essentials functions were not present
If you can't find anything on internet.. maybe you can't directly access the massive storage and you have to look for an other way..

I have numerous ESP8266 / ESP32 / STM32 IOT devices, running my own firmware. One of the functions is a uPNP/SSDP provider which allows remote control from Amazon Echo devices and/or anything that can "speak" SSDP. I managed to find enough info to get these devices automatically added to the Windows network "Home Automation" view by tweaking the registry:
My next step is to have what I think is a "context menu handler" so I can right-click the relevant device and have on/off/toggle options that then send the relevant SOAP envelop to the device to switch on etc. I'd also like to either change the icon (or add an overlay) in-flight to show the on/off state of the device, but that is icing on the cake.
I am having having serious difficulty finding an example C++ framework I can cut and paste to start me off that is relevant, accurate and modern. Every example I find is either for an explorer file menu, or in C#, or literally decades out of date: no doubt much is similar but it is "hooking" the thing in to the Network Pane of Windows 10 that I simply can't find how to do. Even on the MS developer site the information talks mostly about Vista and even XP(!) and is generally quite incomprehensible. The clearest site I could find (dated 2018) recommended a book on Windows Shell programming that was published in...wait for it...1998!
I know I'm going to have to build a DLL - I'm fine with that, I just need a good "leg-up".
"NetworkExplorerPlugins" brings up precisely 0 hits here.
I have been searching unsuccessfully for weeks - can anybody point me to a recent Windows 10-specific C++ example or tutorial that will get me started?
In my C++ Windows application, my users can plug in their mobile device via USB and my application can transfer specific files to/from the device. For Android devices, I was able to use MTP. But iOS devices have me tripped up (I'm not an iOS user).
Immediately, I saw that MTP wasn't an option as I couldn't view the device's filesystem via Windows Explorer (wasn't expecting that). So now I'm stuck, and confused. Googled like crazy and all I discovered was that other 3rd party programs can do it, but I can't find any documentation or resources as to HOW.
Can someone point me in the right direction? What would I need to do in order to view the filesystem on a connected iOS device? Are there any libraries I may be unaware of that I can't find? I can see that iTunes has the functionality I'm looking for.
Thanks for your time!
Well, it looks like my comment was wrong. There is at least libimobiledevice http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ and https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse that claims to still support access to the iOS device file system and even claims to be cross-platform. I haven't tried it though to verify if those claims are true.

I would like, from a native Windows application using C++, to receive video/audio data sent from a browser located in a remote location. It seems like WebRTC is the way to go for this.
Most information I find is about how to interact with the browser to write WebRTC apps, but it may case the data would be received by my C++ app. Is it correct that I would need to use the WebRTC Native Code package for this, which is described as being 'for browser developers'? Document is located here: http://www.webrtc.org/webrtc-native-code-package
And what if I want to send video/audio data that I generate (ie not directly coming from a webcam and microphone), would I be able to send it to the remote location browser?
Any sample code out there which does something like I'm trying to accomplish?
The wording in that link is a bit misleading. They intend people that are developing browsers to use the native code, and advise those that are developing "applications" in a browser to use the WebRTC API.
I have worked with their native code for over a year to develop an Android application that is capable of performing audio and / or video calls between other Android devices and to browsers. So, I a pretty sure that it is completely possible to to take their native code and create a Windows application (especially since they have example code that does that for Linux and Mac -- look at peerconnection client and peerconnection server for this). You might have to write and re-write code to get it to work on Windows.
As for as data that you generate. In the Android project that I worked with, we didn't rely on the Android device / system to provide us with video, we captured and sent that out our selves using the "LibJingle" / WebRTC libraries. So, I know that that is possible, as long as you provide the libraries with video data in the correct format. I would imagine that one would be able to do the same with audio, but we never fiddled with that, so I cannot say for sure.
And as for example code, I can only suggest Luke Weber's gitbug repositories. Although it is for Android, it might be of some help to look at how he interfaces with the two libraries. Probably the better code to look at is the peerconnection client stuff that comes in the "LibJingle" second of the native code. [edit]: That is located in /talk/examples/peerconection/client/ .
If you get lost from my use of "LibJingle", that will show you when I started working with all of this code. Sometime around July of 2013 they migrated "LibJingle" into the WebRTC "talk" folder. From everything that I have seen, they are the same thing, just with the location and named changed.
I'm developing a PC c++ application running on windows. The application shall communicate with an android phone connected thru USB, using MTP. The idée is to not mount the Storage Card. What I have found is that Windows have something they call WPD (Windows Portable Device ) which supports MTP. It looks pretty ok but it demands WMP11 to be installed. What I wondering:
Is there are any other alternatives libraries you can use?
Do any one have any tips or experience about using WPD?
Are there any "leaner" dependencies you can install instead of WMP11 for xp?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I here provide some answers to my question for the hope that it will help some one else.
Is there any alternatives/leaner libraries?
You can use WIA but that is only used for images. but a part from that I have not found any.
Any tips?
Check out the sample code provided by Microsoft, it is a good start point. I found it be searching for Portable Devices COM API Sample on MSDN
For Services you can check out this sample code. Which I found by googling for WpdServicesApiSample
The WPD api is pretty ok to use.
Not all devices support MTP and some only support part of it. This caused me some problem but the device we used released an update which supported more of MTP
I found the answer about XP-problems from this StackOverflow by pcbbc really helpful. I can also add that we mailed the supplier and asked for a custom .INF file to support XP and they were really helpful and provided us with it. But it took some time before we got it.
Can someone point me some c++ samples or some c++ librarys that can transport video and voice over a LAN network.
My objective is to activate a web cam in another pc and receive in my pc the video and voice of the another pc (this can be only one way or in both ways pc to pc call, but i only need one way for now, only see and hear not to interact).
Thanks
If working on Windows try out the NetMeeting Resource Kit. It probably limits playing your videos with Windows Media Player only.
VNC and all its variants should be able to do it.
TightVNC Free.
Another VNC Project
I can't locate a source code link right now, but if you search with vigor it should be revealed.
WebEx's entire business was built on a forked version of VNC. Fun.
