       LEAD_DECLAREOBJECT(LMyTwain); 
    public: 
       LMyTwain(); 
       virtual ~LMyTwain(); 
       virtual L_INT BitmapCallBack(pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap); 
    }; 

18. Click the Solution Explorer tab.

19. Double-click the FastTwainTutor folder to open it.
20. Double-click the Source Files folder to open it. Then double-click FastTwainTutorDlg.cpp file to open it.

21. Add the following class:

       EnableCallBack(TRUE); 
    } 
    LMyTwain::~LMyTwain()

    Radio2	IDC_MEMORY	Memory
    Check1	IDC_USE_BUFFER_SIZE	Use Buffer Size
    Text1	IDC_EDIT1	IDC_BUFFERSIZE
    Text2	IDC_EDIT2	IDC_FILENAME

33. Add the following member variables for the following controls. To do so, go to the Class View from Solution Explorer, select CFastTwainTutorDlg, and then go to Project -> Add Variable menu, then do the following:

    Text1	IDC_BUFFERSIZE	m_nBufferSize	int
    Text2	IDC_FILENAME	m_csFileName	CString

34. From the View menu, select the Other Windows menu, then select the Resource View menu, then select Dialog, and select IDD_FASTTWAINTUTOR_DIALOG.

35. Double-click the Fast Acquire button, and add the following code:

    UpdateData(); 
    L_INT  nFormat; 
    L_UINT uTransferMode; 
    BOOL bMemory = IsDlgButtonChecked(IDC_MEMORY); 
    if (bMemory) 
    { 
       uTransferMode = LTWAIN_BUFFER_MODE; 
       nFormat = FILE_CCITT_GROUP4; 
    } 
    else 
    { 
       uTransferMode = LTWAIN_NATIVE_MODE; 
       nFormat = FILE_TIF; 
    } 
    L_INT nRet = m_MyTwain.FastAcquire((L_TCHAR *)(LPCTSTR)m_csFileName, 
    LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE | LTWAIN_USE_THREAD_MODE, 
    uTransferMode, 
    nFormat, 
    1, 
    TRUE, 
    m_nBufferSize, 
    !m_bUseBufferSize); 
    if (nRet == 1) 
       AfxMessageBox(TEXT("Fast Scanning process done successfully...")); 
    else 
    { 
       CString csError; 
       csError.Format(TEXT("FastAcquire failed, Error = %d\n"), nRet); 
       AfxMessageBox(csError); 
    } 

36. Compile and test the program.
