Posted - Oct 29 2012 : 10:39:57 Is it possible to find out if a twain scanner is indeed connected or powered on before calling the acquire command? Imageen finds the twain driver regardless if the scanner is indeed active. I would like to be able to check its status before i try to acquire an image.
Thanks for any help. P |

Posted - Oct 30 2012 : 01:37:14 Hi, I think there are a way to find if scanner is power on and connected, by checking if scanner is in the list of connected sub device, you have to use windows api to get this list and then check if the name of your scanner is in the list or not.
Hope this help. |
