Getting or Setting TWAIN File System Information
LEADTOOLS provides the ability to obtain information from the TWAIN file system, and change settings within the TWAIN file system using the QueryFileSystem method and the FileSystemInfo property.
The user can direct the TWAIN file system to perform a specific action like, change a device, domain, host, or image directory; create an image directory; delete an image or an image directory; format a storage device; rename an image or an image directory; or copy images across storage devices. The user can also direct the TWAIN file system to retrieve certain information or items such as, information on the current file, the next file in the directory, the first file in the directory, etc.
The FileSystemInfo interface accesses numerous properties that are either updated by the QueryFileSystem method, or used by the QueryFileSystem method to change settings within the TWAIN file system. These properties are:
