L_TwainCreateNumericContainerArray

Summary

Allocates the hContainer member of the TW_CAPABILITY structure to be type TW_ARRAY and fills it with the appropriate data.

Syntax

#include "lttwn.h"

L_LTTWN_API L_INT L_TwainCreateNumericContainerArray (pCapability, Type, uNumOfItems, pData)

Parameters

TW_CAPABILITY * pCapability

Pointer to a structure that contains the capability container to allocate as type TW_ARRAY.

LTWAINNUMERICTYPE Type

Type of data contained in the TW_ARRAY container. For a list of possible values, refer to LTWAINNUMERICTYPE.

L_UINT32 uNumOfItems

Number of items in the array.

L_VOID * pData

Pointer to an allocated array of type TW_ARRAY that has been initialized with the appropriate data and size information.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
! = SUCCESS	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

When enumerating and getting capabilities, the toolkit takes care of creating the necessary TW_CAPABILITY containers. However, if the user wants to set a capability using the L_TwainSetCapability function, he or she must declare a TW_CAPABILITY container of the appropriate type (TW_ARRAY, TW_ENUMERATION, TW_RANGE, or TW_ONEVALUE).
