GetPropertyGuid Method

Example 





Handle to the item which represents the item having the property. You can retrieve this parameter by either calling the GetRootItem method to get the device's root item itself or by enumerating the child items of the device through a call to EnumChildItems method.

This string should contain the equivalent property Id string for the WIA property ID. Use the see GetPropertyIdString method to get this string for the property ID.

If you passed null for this parameter then the WIA toolkit will use the property ID passed through the third parameter propertyId; otherwise this parameters will be used whether or not you passed valid property ID through the propertyId parameter

The property ID for the value being sought, for list of available property IDs see WiaPropertyId.

This parameter is required only if the second parameter "propertyIdName"is null; otherwise you can pass 0 for this parameter.

Retrieves the Guid structure for any WIA property of type WiaVariableTypes.Clsid .

'Usage

   Object^ item,
   String^ propertyIdName,
   WiaPropertyId propertyId
) 

Parameters

item
Handle to the item which represents the item having the property. You can retrieve this parameter by either calling the GetRootItem method to get the device's root item itself or by enumerating the child items of the device through a call to EnumChildItems method.
propertyIdName

This string should contain the equivalent property Id string for the WIA property ID. Use the see GetPropertyIdString method to get this string for the property ID.

If you passed null for this parameter then the WIA toolkit will use the property ID passed through the third parameter propertyId; otherwise this parameters will be used whether or not you passed valid property ID through the propertyId parameter

propertyId

The property ID for the value being sought, for list of available property IDs see WiaPropertyId.

This parameter is required only if the second parameter "propertyIdName"is null; otherwise you can pass 0 for this parameter.

Return Value

The WIA GUID value.
Remarks

Any WIA property of type WiaVariableTypes.Clsid (for example, WiaPropertyId.ItemFormat ) returns a Guid structure. In order to retrieve this type of properties you need to call the function GetPropertyGuid.
