If you are currently running a program written with the SFWLink Toolkit or ScanTools II Legacy Link, change your application to use either synchronous scanning or event-driven (asynchronous) scanning.
All your ScanTools application files (.sds), and profiles (.$cp, .$ep,
.$sp) must be opened in ScanTools Plus software and saved in the new ScanTools
Plus formats (
We recommend that you use asynchronous (event driven) scanning when
you migrate your SFWLink Toolkit 1.x or ScanTools II Legacy Link programs
to ScanTools Plus Link.
The table below takes calls in the SFWLink12 API and tells you what you should do to achieve the same effect using the objects in ScanTools Plus Link for either event driven (asynchronous) or synchronous scanning. Additional information for synchronous scanning only is in the subsequent table.
|
SFWLink1.2 call |
ScanTools Plus Link call |
|---|---|
|
LoadSFW |
Create an instance of the ScanningManager and SessionInfo objects. See also Instantiate Creatable Objects |
|
SetAppWindowHandle |
|
|
SetupSFW |
|
|
GetSFW_Paths |
There is no direct equivalent. ScanTools Plus Link allows you to access appdefs and profiles from any location. Before a call to Scan the following properties of SessionInfo must be set to indicate ScanTools Plus paths:
|
|
Diagnose |
Call Diagnose method of ScanningManager |
|
ConfigSFW |
ScanTools Plus Link allows you to automatically detect and configure scanners connected to your machine using AutoConfigureScanner. |
The table below takes calls in the SFWLink12 API and tells you what you should do to achieve the same effect using the objects in ScanTools Plus Link for synchronous scanning only.
|
SFWLink1.2 call |
ScanTools Plus Link call |
|---|---|
|
SafeScanSFW("START",,,,) |
Issue a call to Scan method of ScanningManager with SessionInfo as a parameter |
|
SafeScanSFW(CONT,,,,,) |
Issue a call to BlockForScannerEvent. If BlockForScannerEvent returns L_EVENTTYPE_SHEETATPRINTHEAD then call GetSheetOutput to extract details of the sheet. Call ModifyPrintString and ModifyStackerSelection if you need to alter the print string or output stacker If BlockForScannerEvent returns L_EVENTTYPE_DOCCOMPLETE then call GetDocOutput to extract details of the document. If BlockForScannerEvent returns L_EVENTTYPE_SESSIONCCOMPLETE the scanning loop is complete |
|
SafeScanSFW(DONE) |
Call Stop method of ScanningManager with L_WHENTOSTOP_EOFSHEET |
|
CloseSFW |
