Hello

For SetAcquireSource, the help file states the following.
"Programatically set the selected acquisition source by an API type and device. The selected device will be used for subsequent calls to Acquire. Result is false if the device cannot be selected (i.e. is not connected or does not exist)."

However, the following if statement returns true even if the scanner is not attached.


var
tempDefaultScannerLocation: Integer

if ImageEnView1.IO.SetAcquireSource(ieaTwain, tempDefaultScannerLocation) = True then
showmessage('true')
else
showmessage('false');


Is this an error or am I missing something?

TIA

John

John,

The ImageEn Twain can detect if the twain drivers are installed in windows, but the ImageEn Twain or for that matter any twain can not be used to determine if the scanner is turned on. You can search for this on the web, but you will find there is no way to determine if a scanner is on via twain.

This approach works with digital camera and WIA, but there is no method you can call to know if a camera is plugged in or turned on:
for i := 0 to ImageEnView1.IO.WIAParams.DevicesInfoCount - 1 do
  if ImageEnView1.IO.WIAParams.DevicesInfo[i].DeviceType = iewDigitalCamera
    then
      Camera1.Items.Add(ImageEnView1.IO.WIAParams.DevicesInfo[i].Name);
  if Camera1.Items.Count = 0 then
  'Camera is not plugged in or turned on'

I just tried this with a usb HP Scanner..
if ImageEnView1.IO.WIAParams.DevicesInfo[i].DeviceType = iewScanner;

Even though the scanner is off there still is a device loaded into the combobox. So I guess it depends on the devices software implementation.
