LTwain::GetNumericContainerSTRINGValue

Summary

Gets the specified value from a container.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LTwain::GetNumericContainerSTRINGValue(pCapability, nIndex, twString)

Parameters

TW_CAPABILITY * pCapability

Pointer to a TW_CAPABILITY structure that references the container value to get.

L_INT nIndex

Index of the value to get. Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
LTWAIN_VALUE_COUNT	[-1] Update twString with the number of items in the item list of the specified container. This option is only valid if the container is of type TW_ARRAY or TW_ENUMERATION. If the container is of any other type, this function will return an error code.
LTWAIN_VALUE_CURRENT	[-2] Update twString with the current value of the container. If the container is of type TW_RANGE, twString is updated with the CurrentValue member of the TW_RANGE structure. If the container is of type TW_ENUMERATION, twString is updated with the CurrentIndex member of the TW_ENUMERATION structure. If the container is of any other type, the function will return an error code.
LTWAIN_VALUE_DEFAULT	[-3] Update twString with the default value of the container. If the container is of type TW_RANGE, twString is updated with the DefaultValue member of the TW_RANGE structure. If the container is of type TW_ENUMERATION, twString is updated with the DefaultIndex member of the TW_ENUMERATION structure. If the container is of any other type, the function will return an error code.
LTWAIN_VALUE_MINIMUM	[-4] Update twString with the minimum value of the container. If the container is of type TW_RANGE, twString is updated with the MinValue member of the TW_RANGE structure. If the container is of any other type, the function will return an error code.
LTWAIN_VALUE_MAXIMUM	[-5] Update twString with the maximum value of the container. If the container is of type TW_RANGE, twString is updated with the MaxValue member of the TW_RANGE structure. If the container is of any other type, the function will return an error code.
LTWAIN_VALUE_STEPSIZE	[-6] Update twString with the step size of the container. If the container is of type TW_RANGE, twString is updated with the StepSize member of the TW_RANGE structure. If the container is of any other type, the function will return an error code.
>= 0	Update twString with the value at the specified index. If the container is of type TW_ONEVALUE, nIndex must be zero and twString will be updated with the value of the TW_ONEVALUE structure. If the container is of type TW_ARRAY or TW_ENUMERATION, twString will be updated with the value at the specified index in the list of items. If the container is of type TW_ENUMERATION or TW_ARRAY, the value must not exceed the number of items in the container's item list or the function will return an error code.

TW_STR1024 twString

A TW_STR1024 value to be updated with the specified container value.

Returns

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

Comments
