L_TwainGetProperties

#include "lttw2.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_TwainGetProperties (hSession, pltProperties, uFlags)

HTWAINSESSION hSession;

/* handle to an existing TWAIN session */

pLTWAINPROPERTIES pltProperties;

/* pointer to a structure */

L_UINT uStructSize;

/* size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap */

L_UINT uFlags;

/* optional flags */

Gets the current or default values of the properties defined in the LTWAINPROPERTIES structure.

Parameter

Description

hSession

Handle to an existing TWAIN session. This handle is obtained by calling the L_TwainInitSession function.

pltProperties

Pointer to a LTWAINPROPERTIES structure to be updated with the current or default properties. This must be a valid pointer for an LTWAINPROPERTIES structure.

uStructSize

Size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pltProperties, for versioning. Use sizeof(LTWAINPROPERTIES).

uFlags

Flag that indicates the property values to get. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

LTWAIN_PROPERTIES_GETCURRENT

[3] Get the current values.

 

LTWAIN_PROPERTIES_GETDEFAULT

[4] Get the default values.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

! = SUCCESS

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function must be called after L_TwainStartCapsNeg is called and before L_TwainEndCapsNeg is called.

This function lets the user get information on the properties contained in the LTWAINPROPERTIES structure. It is a high-level alternative to getting capabilities using the L_TwainGetCapability or L_TwainEnumCapabilities functions. For more information on getting and setting TWAIN capabilities, refer to Getting and Setting Capabilities.

To set properties, use the L_TwainSetProperties function.
