GetPropertySystemTime Method

Summary

Retrieves a System.DateTime structure for any WIA property of type WiaVariableTypes.UI2 or WiaVariableTypes.Vector.

Syntax

C++

public DateTime GetPropertySystemTime( 
   object item, 
   string propertyIdName, 
   WiaPropertyId propertyId 
)

  
Public Function GetPropertySystemTime( _ 
   ByVal item As Object, _ 
   ByVal propertyIdName As String, _ 
   ByVal propertyId As Leadtools.Wia.WiaPropertyId _ 
) As Date

public: 
DateTime GetPropertySystemTime(  
   Object^ item, 
   String^ propertyIdName, 
   Leadtools.Wia.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 system date.

Remarks

Call this function to retrieve a System.DateTime structure for any WIA property of type /// WiaVariableTypes.UI2 or WiaVariableTypes.Vector (for instance, and WiaPropertyId.DeviceTime wiapropertyid.itemtime) to return the date and time of the item.

For more information, refer to Managing WIA Sources.
