L_TwainGetDeviceEventCapability

#include "lttwn.h"

L_LTTWN_API L_INT L_TwainGetDeviceEventCapability (hSession, pDeviceCap)

Gets the device event capability (CAP_DEVICEEVENT) values for the current TWAIN session.

Parameters

HTWAINSESSION hSession

Handle to an existing TWAIN session. This handle is obtained by calling the L_TwainInitSession or L_TwainInitSession2 function.

Pointer to a TW_CAPABILITY structure that references the required device event capability. This structure must be allocated and it will be filled with data corresponding to the required capability to get.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

To set the CAP_DEVICEEVENT capability value, call L_TwainSetDeviceEventCapability function.

To reset the CAP_DEVICEEVENT capability value to the default value, call L_TwainResetDeviceEventCapability.

To get the status for each device event, call L_TwainSetDeviceEventCallback function.

To get the device event information, call L_TwainGetDeviceEventData function.

This function should be called after calling L_TwainStartCapsNeg function and before calling L_TwainEndCapsNeg function.
