Title: How to scan an image directly into the application
The setup program for Imaging (tool that ships with Windows 98) installs the Image
Scan control (OCX) and the 32-bit TWAIN DLLs.
All you have to do is to import this ActiveX control in Delphi and generate
a component wrapper:
Import the ActiveX Control "Kodak Image Scan Control"
(Select Component|Import ActiveX Control...)
Now add a TImgScan Component from the Register "ActiveX" to your form.
Change the following Properties in the Object Inspector:
FileType = 3 - BMP_Bitmap
PageOption = 4 - OverwritePages
ScanTo = 2 - FileOnly
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender:TObject);
begin
if imgScan1.ScannerAvailable then]
try
imgScan1.Image:='c:\Scanner.bmp';
imgScan1.OpenScanner;
imgScan1.Zoom:=100;
imgScan1.StartScan;
Application.ProcessMessages;
finally
imgScan1.CloseScanner;
{Show the scanned image in Image1}
imgScan1.Picture.LoadFromFile(Image1.Image);
end;
end;
