Acquire Images from a WIA Source

The LEADTOOLS WIA driver is available in LEADTOOLS version 16 or higher.

This tutorial is to provides you with a quick and easy way to generate a WIA program. For more in depth WIA programming, refer to the WIA demo.

Take the following steps to create and run a program that implement LEADTOOLS WIA features.

4.

In the Project Name dialog box, enter "WiaAcquireTutor".

5.

In the Location dialog box, use the "Examples\ClassLibrary\MSVC" directory of your LEAD installation.

Then click "Next".

6.

Choose "Dialog based" and click "Finish".

7.

Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab, and then click on the "WiaAcquireTutor" project to expand it. Click on the Header files, then Open "WiaAcquireTutor.h".

Click on the "Class View" tab.

10.

Click to open the "WiaAcquireTutor" classes branch.

11.

Click "CWiaAcquireTutorApp", and then double click the CWiaAcquireTutorApp(void) constructor.

12.

Add the following lines after //TODO: add construction code here:

LBase::LoadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB); 
LSettings::UnlockSupport(L_SUPPORT_DOCUMENT, L_KEY_DOCUMENT); 

13.

Create a new file called Imports.cpp in place it beside your project files.

 

a.

In the Project Workspace, click the Solution Explorer tab.

 

b.

Double-click the WiaAcquireTutor folder to open it.

 

c.

Right-click the Source files folder and select Add à New item.

Select C++ File (.cpp) from the right window.

 

g.

In the name text box, specify Imports.cpp

 

h.

Click the Add button.

 

i.

Double-click the imports.cpp in the solution Explorer and add the following lines:

 

#include "StdAfx.h"

#if defined(WIN64) 
   #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLL\\x64\\Ltwvc_x.lib")
#else
   #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLL\\Win32\\Ltwvc_u.lib")
#endif // #if defined(WIN64) 

14.

Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab.

17.

Add the following class declaration before CWiaAcquireTutorDlg class.

 

class LMyWia : public LWia
{
   LEAD_DECLAREOBJECT(LMyWia); 

   public: 
      LMyWia();
      virtual ~LMyWia();
      virtual L_INT AcquireCallBack(pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap, L_TCHAR * pszFilename, L_UINT32 uPercent, L_UINT32 uFlags); 
};

18.

Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab.

19.

Double-click the "WiaAcquireTutor" folder to open it.

20.

Double-click the "Source Files" folder to open it. Then double click "WiaAcquireTutorDlg.cpp" file to open it.

21.

Add the following class:

 

LEAD_IMPLEMENTOBJECT(LMyWia); 
LMyWia::LMyWia()
{
   EnableCallBack(TRUE); 
}

LMyWia::~LMyWia()
{
}

L_INT LMyWia::AcquireCallBack(pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap, L_TCHAR * pszFilename, L_UINT32 uPercent, L_UINT32 uFlags) 
{
   //Copy the acquired bitmap here
   return SUCCESS; 
}

22.

Click on the "Class View" tab.

LBase::UnloadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB);

29.

Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab.

Double-click the "WiaAcquireTutor" folder to open it.

31.

Double-click the "Resource Files" folder to open it. Then double click "WiaAcquireTutor.rc" file to open it, then double click "Dialog", and then double click "IDD_WIAACQUIRETUTOR_DIALOG"
