GetFirstFile Method
| ImageGear Professional v18.2 > API Reference Guide > TWAIN Component API Reference > TWAIN Component Objects > IGTwainCtl Control > IGTwainCtl Methods > GetFirstFile Method |
Gets the first filename in a directory and returns information about that file (the same information that can be retrieved with GetFileInfo). The Data Source positions the file system context to point to the first filename. IGTWAINFileInfo.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 IG_TW_FY_CAMERA device.
Use OpenSource to select the desired Data Source, prior to calling this method.
GetFirstFile() As IGTWAINFileInfo
