LTwain::GetProperties

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LTwain::GetProperties (pltProperties, uStructSize, uFlags)

pLTWAINPROPERTIES pltProperties;	/* pointer to a structure */
L_UINT uStructSize;	/* size of the LTWAINPROPERTIES structure, in bytes */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* optional flags */

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

Parameter	Description
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 of the LTWAINPROPERTIES structure, in bytes, 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.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

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 LTwain::GetCapability or LTwain::EnumCapabilities functions. For more information on getting and setting TWAIN capabilities, refer to Getting and Setting Capabilities.

To set properties, use the LTwain::SetProperties function.
