LTwain::QueryProperty

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LTwain::QueryProperty (uCapability, ppltProperty, uStructSize)

L_UINT uCapability;

/* capability constant */

pLTWAINPROPERTYQUERY * ppltProperty;

/* pointer to a pointer to a structure */

L_UINT uStructSize;

/* size of the LTWAINPROPERTY structure, in bytes */

Gets the available property values.

Parameter

Description

uCapability

This is a capability constant defined by the TWAIN 1.9 specification. For example if the user wants the value(s) for the transfer count, the uCapability will be ICAP_XFERCOUNT.

ppltProperty

Pointer to a pointer to a LTWAINPROPERTYQUERY structure to be updated with the property values.

 

The structure will be internally allocated if the function is successful.

 

The structure should be freed by calling LTwain::FreePropQueryStructure function

uStructSize

Size of the LTWAINPROPERTYQUERY structure, in bytes, for versioning. Use sizeof(LTWAINPROPERTYQUERY).

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

<1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Getting these values can help in determining what values a certain TWAIN source supports for a certain capability or property.
