LTwain::LockContainer

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LTwain::LockContainer(pCapability, ppContainer)

TW_CAPABILITY * pCapability;	/* pointer to a structure */
void ** ppContainer;	/* pointer to a pointer to a structure */

Gets the container information for the specified capability.

Parameter	Description
pCapability	Pointer to a TW_CAPABILITY structure from which to get the container.
ppContainer	Pointer to be updated with a pointer to the container.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function is used to lock the container present in the TW_CAPABILITY structure.

Once the user has the pointer to the container, the container may be changed. When the user has finished changing the container he or she must call LTwain::UnlockContainer to unlock the container. Note that this can also be accomplished using the API GlobalLock and GlobalUnlock functions.
