    GetFirstFile Method
    In This Topic
    This method gets the first filename in a directory, and returns information about that file (the same information that can be retrieved with GetFileInfo).
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Function GetFirstFile() As ImGearFileInfo
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As ImGearTWAIN
    Dim value As ImGearFileInfo
     
    value = instance.GetFirstFile()
    public ImGearFileInfo GetFirstFile()
    public: ImGearFileInfo* GetFirstFile(); 
    public:
    ImGearFileInfo^ GetFirstFile(); 

    Return Value

    An ImGearFileInfo class containing information about the first file in a directory.
    Remarks
    The Data Source positions the file system context to point to the first filename. ImGearFileInfo.Name contains the absolute path and name of the file. If the Application calls GetCurrentImage, the current image will be transferred. Applications must not assume any ordering of the files delivered by the Data Source, with one exception: if GetFirstFile is called in the root directory, the operation must return an ImGearFileType.CAMERA device.

    Use OpenSource to select the desired Data Source, prior to calling this method.
