TWAIN input from dolphin

Sebastián Sastre
Hi there,

 I need to use TWAIN to capture some photos from a selected image
device. I read here that Ian sometime has a EZTWAIN wrapper. I've
downloaded the EZTWAIN (TWAIN wrapper) and it would be great to have
the old goodie as a "source of inspiration" for wrapping this dll.

  Ian can you send me a copy? If I have success I can return it updated
for D6 and the new EZTWAIN.

  cheers,

Sebastian

Do you really need TWAIN? If you "just" need to aquire images WIA
(Windows Image Acquisition,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wia/wia/overviews/startpage.asp 
) might be a better way to go. WIA offers it's functionality via COM and
Dolphins TypeLibraryAnalayzer is quite happy to create working
interfaces for it. In addition WIA not only provides access to scanners
but to any image aquiring device (e.g. digital cameras, webcams ...).

Hope this helps,

Udo


PS: If you are interested in OCR you might want to give MODI (Microsoft
Office Document Imaging) a try. MODI is part of Office 2002 and 2003 and
works quite well:

The latest one I can find is dated July 2000 so I don't know how
relevant it will be.

I've uploaded it to my web site anyway - I hope it helps.

Dear Udo,

  I've tried to wrap the WIA library (not flawlessly as I espected to
be). When I finally got it I've found that the usb webcam I've have
attached is nos wia compatible device. So I'lll presume that wia is
still not a wide standard yet.

  I'll still with an eye on this because in the near future I'll to
capture video and I think it could be better with wia.

  thanks anyway,

Sebastian

I don't know how you do it Ian, but your dolphin karma continues
arrising for this group...
I've loaded your package, patched the #queryCommand: method in
TwerpDemoShell class and it worked flawlessly. Now I can use inside my
application.

  thank you one more time,

Sebastian
