Image Scan Control

What the Image Scan control lets you do

The Image Scan control lets you the application developer add scanning functions to applications that support 32-bit ActiveX controls.

Applications that you create with the Image Scan control can only work with TWAIN compliant scanners.

Your scanner requires a TWAIN data source (usually supplied by the manufacturer) and the 32-bit TWAIN DLLs provided with Imaging for Windows.

What the Image Scan control lets your users do

The Image Scan control lets your users scan and save image documents as an integral part of your application.  Depending on how you design and code your application, users can scan new single-page and multipage image documents, as well as append and insert scanned pages into existing documents.

The resulting image documents can be viewed, manipulated, annotated, printed, or sent within an e-mail package.

Prerequisites

The Scan control is invisible and can work independently of other controls. However, to display images while they are being scanned, you must link the Scan control to the Image Edit control that will display these images.
