Thanks to Lior Bilia I have found this on GitHub https://github.com/barrowsb/labview_opencv With some modification, it allows me to use the OpenCV project to open the camera and display its video feed in a picture box. This avoids having to use ActiveX and more importantly for my application avoids the use of DAQmx drivers that require a license for deployment.

Windows 10, LabVIEW 2020 I wish to embed the Microsoft Camera App into a LabVIEW front panel. It needs to show the live pictures coming from the camera. Eventually I want to embed 2 camera pictures. I wish to do this to avoid using the DAQmx drivers that require a license for deployment. I can launch the Camera App by passing the following to the command line via the System Exec vi cmd /c start microsoft.windows.camera: This opens the Camera App in a separate window, I need it to be embedded in the front panel. I have tried using an active X container and Insert ActiveX object, Camera is not listed. The Camera exe can be found in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsCamera_2023.2312.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsCamera.exe". This folder is protected and when I remove the protection and call it directly there are errors about missing dlls (mrt100_app.dll and then SharedLibrary.dll) Anyone have any bright ideas.
