LEADTOOLS provides the ability to obtain information from the TWAIN file system, and change settings within the TWAIN file system using the LTwain::QueryFileSystem function.
The user can direct the TWAIN file system to perform a specific action like, change a device, domain, host, or image directory; create an image directory; delete an image or an image directory; format a storage device; rename an image or an image directory; or copy images across storage devices. The user can also direct the TWAIN file system to retrieve certain information or items such as, information on the current file, the next file in the directory, the first file in the directory, etc.
If the FileMsg parameter of LTwain::QueryFileSystem contains one of the following flags:
FILESYSTEMMSG_CHANGEDIRECTORY
FILESYSTEMMSG_CREATEDIRECTORY
FILESYSTEMMSG_DELETE
FILESYSTEMMSG_FORMATMEDIA
FILESYSTEMMSG_RENAME
FILESYSTEMMSG_COPY
the pTwFile parameter must contain the proper information before calling this function. This function will use the provided information to change settings within the TWAIN file system.
If the FileMsg parameter contains one of the following flags:
FILESYSTEMMSG_GETCLOSE
FILESYSTEMMSG_GETFIRSTFILE
FILESYSTEMMSG_GETINFO
FILESYSTEMMSG_GETNEXTFILE
this function, will update the pTwFile parameter with the corresponding information.
If the FileMsg parameter contains the following flag:
FILESYSTEMMSG_AUTOMATICCAPTUREDIRECTORY
this function will use information stored within the pTwFile parameter and will update the pTwFile parameter with any appropriate information.
For example; to get information about the current file from the TWAIN file system, set the FileMsg parameter to FILESYSTEMMSG_GETINFO and call LTwain::QueryFileSystem. The pTwFile parameter will be updated with the appropriate information.
