Need help copying simple functions from C++ to VB

[Mutant Funk Drink]

I own a Logitech Orbit camera, which is basically a camera that has Pan/Tilt/Zoom support.

The program that came with the camera has basic control over PTZ, but I want to experiment more with it on my own. Perhaps have it track movement or something.

Logitech released and example of controlling the PTZ in C++.

Even though it's fairly simplistic, I want to use these functions in a GUI of some kind and I'm having a tough time doing that in C++. I should learn C++, but I don't have the time right now. I do know Visual Basic, however.

I've already [foolishly] tried converting the code to VB using one of Tangible Software's programs, but it didn't work.

Pretty much the camera is controlled by DirectShow commands, and I want to know how I can control the camera the same way in Visual Basic.

I'd greatly appreciate some help. The C++ code seems fairly simple, and it's from the Logitech site so you know I haven't written any malicious code.

Why can't you just create separate executable files using c++ for each / every task that needs to be done, then create a simple VB GUI that executes a specific c++ exe file whenever the specific button is pressed

I was thinking about that, or possibly adding command line parameters to the program so I wouldn't have to have a separate exe for every degree of pan/tilt.

I'd still like to have full control embedded in the program, but if it isn't possible then I'll have to resort to doing that.
