Can Vb Be Linked To Scanner?

hi! i'd like to ask... can i run the scanner by just clicking on a scan button i've made on my program? i need to know how... can u help me... pleeeaaassseeeeeeeeee!!

The short answer is yes, however, you will need to provide a little more information than you have

Are you wanting to have complete control of the scanner or just to trigger a scan

What image control are you using (ie: what activeX control are you implementing)

What is the scanner you are using

What kind of volumes are you going to scan

If you let me have this information I can discuss this with you in more detail and I can let you have some sample code which I have developed and I know works.

You can contact me either privately ( my details are available from my profile) or we can do this within the forum ( I would prefer to use the forum - lets share the waelth)

Were any ActiveX controls shipped with your scanner?

Hi there Megatron:

Is this question to me or to cuteIMcute

Hi Megatron:

Sorry about butting in buit it looks like cuteIMcute is quiet. Maybe s/he has sorted their problem

Well, people who do not visit these forums regularly do not see their topics everyday, so we should give him a week or so.

I used that in a photoprogram, you just need to implement the twain api into your project, get it form www.twain.org
Im sorry that I don't have more because I would have to search this program...

There is a good example that I have posted on this site (i don't know where) try searching for it, and search on www.planetsourcecode.com

heh, this topic is a month old.

Cool i have an answer for a wee change.

You can use the 'Kodak Image Scan Control' (Find it under Project..Components). Sorry I haven't experimented with it so i dont know much about its usage but i dont think it is that hard. :cool:
