When getting or setting capability information, it may be necessary to create a container for the associated TW_CAPABILITY structure. The structure of these containers depends on the type of information in the container. LEADTOOLS supports the following types of containers:
TW_ARRAY
TW_ENUMERATION
TW_ONEVALUE
TW_RANGE
LEAD provides specific functions for creating each type of container:
L_TwainCreateNumericContainerArray, allocates the container of the TW_CAPABILITY structure to be of type TW_ARRAY and fills it with the specified data.
L_TwainCreateNumericContainerEnum, allocates the container of the TW_CAPABILITY structure to be of type TW_ENUMERATION and fills it with the specified data.
L_TwainCreateNumericContainerOneValue, allocates the container of the TW_CAPABILITY structure to be of type TW_ONEVALUE and fills it with the specified data.
L_TwainCreateNumericContainerRange, allocates the container of the TW_CAPABILITY structure to be of type TW_RANGE and fills it with the specified data.
The value in a container can be changed once the user has a pointer to the container. To change the value of a container, the user can call L_TwainLockContainer, make the desired changes to the container value(s), and then call L_TwainUnlockContainer. Alternately, the user can accomplish the same thing by calling the C DLL GlobalLock and GlobalUnlock functions.
When the created container is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling L_TwainFreeContainer.
LEAD provides a number of functions for getting container values, based on the data type of the value. To get the data type of the value in a container, call L_TwainGetNumericContainerItemType. Once the type is known, the following functions can be used to get the container value(s) from the TW_CAPABILITY structure:
L_TwainGetNumericContainerINTValue
L_TwainGetNumericContainerUINTValue
L_TwainGetNumericContainerFIX32Value
L_TwainGetNumericContainerFRAMEValue
L_TwainGetNumericContainerSTRINGValue
L_TwainGetNumericContainerUNICODEValue
L_TwainGetNumericContainerBOOLValue
To get the available values for a specific TWAIN capability, call L_TwainQueryProperty. This function takes a pointer to a LTWAINPROPERTYQUERY structure, which will be updated with the available values for the capability.
For more information on these container types, refer to the TWAIN 1.9 Specification, available at www.twain.org.
