Acquire Images from a WIA Source

The LEADTOOLS WIA driver is available in LEADTOOLS version 16 or higher.

This tutorial is to provides you with a quick and easy way to generate a WIA program. For more in depth WIA programming, refer to the WIA demo.

Take the following steps to create and run a program that implement LEADTOOLS WIA features.

1.	Start Microsoft Visual Studio
2.	Select the File->New menu option, click the "Project" menu.
3.	From "Project Types" select "Other Languages" to expand it, then select "Visual C++" to expand it, then select "MFC". From the right window select "MFC Application".
4.	In the Project Name dialog box, enter "WiaAcquireTutor".
5.	In the Location dialog box, use the "Examples\ClassLibrary\MSVC" directory of your LEAD installation. For example, if you installed LEADTOOLS in "C:\LEADTOOLS 19\", enter "C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\ClassLibrary\MSVC", then Click OK. Then click "Next".
6.	Choose "Dialog based" and click "Finish".
7.	Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab, and then click on the "WiaAcquireTutor" project to expand it. Click on the Header files, then Open "WiaAcquireTutor.h".
8.	Add the following line immediately before the class CWiaAcquireTutorApp declaration, (keep in mind, you may have to change the path to where the header files reside):

#include "..\..\..\..\include\ClassLib\ltwrappr.h"

9.	Click on the "Class View" tab.
10.	Click to open the "WiaAcquireTutor" classes branch.
11.	Click "CWiaAcquireTutorApp", and then double click the CWiaAcquireTutorApp(void) constructor.
12.	Add the following lines after `//TODO: add construction code here`:

LBase::LoadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB);   
L_TCHAR * pszLicenseFile = L"Replace this with the path to the LEADTOOLS license file";   
L_TCHAR * pszDeveloperKey = L"Replace this with your developer key";   
LSettings::SetLicenseFile(pszLicenseFile, pszDeveloperKey);

13.	Create a new file called Imports.cpp in place it beside your project files.
	a.	In the Project Workspace, click the Solution Explorer tab.
	b.	Double-click the WiaAcquireTutor folder to open it.
	c.	Right-click the Source files folder and select Add New item.
	d.	Expand Visual C++ tree, if it is not already expanded.
	e.	Select Code from the sub tree.
	f.	Select C++ File (.cpp) from the right window.
	g.	In the name text box, specify Imports.cpp
	h.	Click the Add button.
	i.	Double-click the imports.cpp in the solution Explorer and add the following lines:

#include "StdAfx.h"   
#if defined(WIN64)    
   #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLL\\x64\\Ltwvc_x.lib")   
#else   
   #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLL\\Win32\\Ltwvc_u.lib")   
#endif // #if defined(WIN64)

14.	Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab.
15.	Double-click the "WiaAcquireTutor" folder to open it.
16.	Double-click the "Header Files" folder to open it. Then double click "WiaAcquireTutorDlg.h" file to open it.
17.	Add the following class declaration before CWiaAcquireTutorDlg class.

class LMyWia : public LWia 
{ 
   LEAD_DECLAREOBJECT(LMyWia); 
public: 
   LMyWia(); 
   virtual ~LMyWia(); 
   virtual L_INT AcquireCallBack(pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap, L_TCHAR * pszFilename, L_UINT32 uPercent, L_UINT32 uFlags); 
};

18.	Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab.
19.	Double-click the "WiaAcquireTutor" folder to open it.
20.	Double-click the "Source Files" folder to open it. Then double click "WiaAcquireTutorDlg.cpp" file to open it.
21.	Add the following class:

LEAD_IMPLEMENTOBJECT(LMyWia); 
LMyWia::LMyWia() 
{ 
   EnableCallBack(TRUE); 
} 
LMyWia::~LMyWia() 
{ 
} 
L_INT LMyWia::AcquireCallBack(pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap, L_TCHAR * pszFilename, L_UINT32 uPercent, L_UINT32 uFlags) 
{ 
   //Copy the acquired bitmap here 
   return SUCCESS; 
}

22.	Click on the "Class View" tab.
23.	Right click "CWiaAcquireTutorDlg" and select Add "Add Variable..."
24.	For Variable Type enter LMyWia, and for Variable Declaration put m_MyWia. Leave Access as "Public" and click OK.
25.	Click to open the CWiaAcquireTutorDlg branch. Double click the OnInitDialog() function and add the following code after line:

// TODO: Add extra initialization here   
m_MyWia.InitSession(WiaVersion1);

26.	Right click the CWiaAcquireTutorDlg branch, and choose "Properties".
27.	From the "Properties" window toolbar, click on the Messages icon. Then click on the empty area beside the item "WM_DESTROY" and choose OnDestroy.
28.	Add the following code after the opening bracket {:

m_MyWia.EndSession();   
LBase::UnloadLibraries(LT_ALL_LEADLIB);

29.	Click on the "Solution Explorer" tab.
30.	Double-click the "WiaAcquireTutor" folder to open it.
31.	Double-click the "Resource Files" folder to open it. Then double click "WiaAcquireTutor.rc" file to open it, then double click "Dialog", and then double click "IDD_WIAACQUIRETUTOR_DIALOG"
32.	Now, drag and drop 2 buttons, and change their properties as follows:
		ID	Caption
	Button1	IDC_SELECT_SRC	Select Source
	Button2	IDC_ACQUIRE	Acquire
33.	From View menu, select "Other Windows" menu, then select "Resource View" menu, then select Dialog, and select "IDD_WIAACQUIRETUTOR_DIALOG"
34.	Double click on "Select Source" button, and add the following code:

m_MyWia.SelectDeviceDlg(WiaDeviceTypeDefault, L_WIA_SELECT_DEVICE_NODEFAULT);

35.	From View menu, select "Other Windows" menu, then select "Resource View" menu, then select Dialog, and select "IDD_WIAACQUIRETUTOR_DIALOG"
36.	Double click on "Acquire" button, and add the following code:

m_MyWia.m_MyWia.Acquire(L_WIA_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE | L_WIA_DEVICE_DIALOG_USE_COMMON_UI, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

37.	Compile and test the program.
