How to use vb accessing TWAIN

[Wei Chung Lim CS]

hi,
How do I use visual basic v6 to talk with a digital or video camera? I
know this has to deal with TWAIN driver. I'd done research on it. Izit the
only we can do it is to download some activex control (ocx or dll)

I had a need to get images from a camera using Visual Basic. I found something
called the Kodak Image Scan Control. The Kodak Image Scan Control seemed to
work.

The code to fetch a picture from the scanner looks like this:

imgScnPicture.ShowSelectScanner ' Show list of available TWAIN devs
imgScnPicture.OpenScanner
imgScnPicture.StartScan
imgScnPicture.CloseScanner

The object is the ImgScan object.

The only problem is that I am not certain that C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IMGSCAN.OCX is
a part of Visual Basic or part of another package that we have installed on the
school district's computers. I believe that the Kodak Image Scan Control is
part of Windows 98, however.

I hope that helps.
