I'm writing an application using C++ ...basically, I call some software like amcap.exe to manage some webcam, but, before calling it, I need to know in advance some parameters such as the status of the image: for example if the image is v-flipped or not ... because I always need to have the video image upside-down when amcap.exe starts.

So, I think I need a way to acquire some parameters programmatically (without any GUI) and later set values for those parameter. Is there a way to do it using C++ or using some scripting languages (batch programming...)

Thank you very much
