Comments

This function acquires one or more images from a TWAIN source and stores them in the specified bitmap list. If the user wants to acquire one or more images and process each one individually, he or she should use the L_TwainAcquire function an provide a LTWAINBITMAPCALLBACK function for processing each image.

The number of pages to acquire can be determined by getting the TWAIN source's capabilities. To change the number of pages to acquire, set the appropriate capability to the desired number.

The LTWAIN_KEEPOPEN flag works only in the following cases:

  1. Passed with LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE flag to make the TWAIN user-interface appears as a modeless dialog. The TWAIN data source remains open after scanning until the user closes it.

  2. Passed with LTWAIN_SHOW_USER_INTERFACE and LTWAIN_MODAL_USER_INTERFACE flags to make the TWAIN user-interface appears as a modal dialog. The TWAIN data source remains open after scanning until the user closes it.
