Glossary Item Box

Get a flag word for a tag.

Declaration:

  Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_ISIS_choice_get_flags(
        HISISDRV hDriver,
        AT_MODE nTag,
        LPAT_LMODE lpFlags
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
hDriver HISISDRV The handle to the driver.
nTag AT_MODE The tag for which the flag word is being requested.
lpFlags LPAT_LMODE A pointer to a buffer that will contain the result of IG_ISIS_choice_get_flags. Currently, only two bits of lpFlags are defined:
  • IG_ISIS_CONT_RANGE - Choice values are represented internally as a range, with a low value, a high value, and a step value.
  • IG_ISIS_CONT_LIST - Choice values are represented internally as a simple list of values.

Return Value:

Error count.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Example:

The following example shows how to use IG_ISIS_choice_get_flags to determine whether a particular tag is a list or a range. This is part of a sample that determines whether a scanner can output binary, grayscale, or color.

Remarks:

The IG_ISIS_choice_get_flags function fills in lpdwFlags with the flag word from tag nTag. The values contained in this flag word are described below, under "Structures."

The flag word returned by IG_ISIS_choice_get_flagsis currently used only to differentiate between two types of flag values in a tag: IG_ISIS_CONT_RANGE and IG_ISIS_CONT_LIST. One of these constants should be ANDed with the flag word output by IG_ISIS_choice_get_flags to determine a choice's internal representation.

While most choice functions behave identically regardless of type, the STEP value is only available if the IG_ISIS_CONT_RANGE bit is set.
