Scanning from Delphi program

Does anyone know how to activate a serial scanner and put the
image into the clipboard directly from Delphi program?

Thanks for any  hints

Regards

Re:Scanning from Delphi program


I think there're several components at www.torry.ru!

Have a look.

Re:Scanning from Delphi program


Look at the Eastman/Wang Imaging program that comes with Windows. You
have the OCX's for this, which you can incorporate into a Delphi
program, and they are FREE!

That's interesting, how do you find out which OCX's are involved and how to
use them?

You can get EZTWAIN, which I use, from www.twain.org
Its free, and its quite straightforward (1 function call does the whole job
if you don't implement error checking)

Re:Scanning from Delphi program


I had problems with  creative labs IE500 video capture carrd using the Wang
OCXs
or even from the the windows apps that used them. There are  freeware Twain
component
sets at DSP or Torry's which have worked well for me.

Re:Scanning from Delphi program


If you look under Components|Import ActiveX you will see a list of
registered OCX controls. The Imaging ones begin "IMG..." In
Windows/Help there is a help file for each ocx. The background, as I
understand is that these components were developed by Wang and then
bought by Eastman/Kodak.

On my machine I have the "Professional" set of OCX so I can not be more
specific. I purchased these for a project but did not use them because
there was a problem with the OCR ocx which Eastman could not resolve.
However the freebies might be fine for your purpose.

Re:Scanning from Delphi program


Are they any good these days?  Last time I used them from Delphi I had bad
memory leaks and mass instability!  VB folks have told me they've had no
problems (perhaps a few crashes and a few MG leaks are normal for VB!!!!).

Re:Scanning from Delphi program


sorry, could you tell me where in the site is the component for Delphi.  I
am very new to Scanning and don't know which one is.  also, is it just for
16bit?
