Comments

The DTWAIN_GetSourceProductName function fills szBuffer with the Product Name associated with the Source Source The MaxLen argument is the maximum number of characters to copy to szBuffer, including the trailing null character.   For example, if you want to return a maximum of 10 visible characters, the MaxLen argument should be 11 (one more to store the terminating NULL).

 

If szBuffer is NULL, the length of the product name, plus 1 for the trailing NULL, is returned.  The MaxLen argument is ignored and no characters are copied to szBuffer. You can use this method to determine the total number of characters needed to store the entire name.

 

The Product Name is the name that is displayed in the list of Source Names in the TWAIN 'Select Source' dialog box.  You can then use the Product Name in the DTWAIN_SelectSourceByName function to select the Source

 

TWAIN State Transitions
