LTwain::CreateNumericContainerArray

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LTwain::CreateNumericContainerArray (pCapability, Type, uNumOfItems, pData)

TW_CAPABILITY * pCapability;	/* pointer to a structure */
LTWAINNUMERICTYPE Type;	/* container type */
L_UINT32 uNumOfItems;	/* number of items in the array */
L_VOID * pData;	/* pointer to an allocated array */

Allocates the hContainer member of the TW_CAPABILITY structure to be type TW_ARRAY and fills it with the appropriate data.

Parameter	Description
pCapability	Pointer to a structure that contains the capability container to allocate as type TW_ARRAY.
Type	Type of data contained in the TW_ARRAY container. For a list of possible values, refer to LTWAINNUMERICTYPE.
uNumOfItems	Number of items in the array.
pData	Pointer to an allocated array of type TW_ARRAY that has been initialized with the appropriate data and size information.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

When enumerating and getting capabilities, the toolkit takes care of creating the necessary TW_CAPABILITY containers. However, if the user wants to set a capability using the LTwain::SetCapability function, he or she must declare a TW_CAPABILITY container of the appropriate type (TW_ARRAY, TW_ENUMERATION, TW_RANGE, or TW_ONEVALUE).
