IGFormatsCtl

All applications need to obtain images from some file (either a file on disk, a file available somewhere on the Internet, a file in memory, or a file accessed via some I/O Stream), or from some device (either a TWAIN device or an ISISAIIM MS61/MS61 scanner). Interpreting the contents of the file and loading the image(s) defined by that file is the job of IGFormatsCtl Control. Like IGCoreCtl Control, you'll place one of these into the user interface of your application, and then use it to perform file load and file save processing. The Format Filters (described above) assist IGFormatsCtl Control in these functions. Like IGCoreCtl Control, IGFormatsCtl Control is an ActiveX control, which allows you to use it in the UI designer tool of each development environment. Like IGCoreCtl Control, IGFormatsCtl Control presents no user interface to the application end-user at run-time - it is visible only at design-time. Your application program must associate the IGFormatsCtl Control (and any needed file-format handling Format Filters) with the IGCoreCtl Control before using it - this is typically done when your application first starts up.
