Add(UInt16) Method (DeviceCapabilityCollection)

In This Topic

Adds the "custom" capability to the list of capabilities.

Syntax

'Declaration

Public Sub Add( _
   ByVal idAn identifier of capability.
 As UShort _
)

public void Add(
   ushort id
)

public: void Add(
   ushort id
)

public:
void Add(
   ushort id
)

Parameters

id: An identifier of capability.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentException	Thrown if the capability with specified identifier exists already.

Remarks

By default device provides the identifiers of supported capabilities and SDK automatically adds all capabilities, which are supported by device, to the capability list.
Some "bad" devices does not provide the identifiers of supported capabilities or provide wrong identifiers of supported capabilities. This method is intended for solving this problem. Use the method only if you really need add capability to the capability list.

Example

This C#/VB.NET code shows how to add the "custom" capability to the list of capabilities.

VB.NET


''' <summary>
''' Adds the "custom" capability to the device capability collection.
''' </summary>
Public Shared Sub AddCustomDeviceCapability(device As Vintasoft.Twain.Device)
    ' open the device
    device.Open()

    Dim customCapId As System.UInt16 = 30000
    ' add the "custom" capability to the device capability collection
    device.Capabilities.Add(customCapId)

    ' get the "custom" capability
    Dim cap30000 As Vintasoft.Twain.DeviceCapability = device.Capabilities.Find(customCapId)
    Try
        ' set the current value of "custom" capability to True
        cap30000.SetValue(True)
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        System.Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Error: {0}", ex.Message))
    End Try
End Sub


/// <summary>
/// Adds the "custom" capability to the device capability collection.
/// </summary>
public static void AddCustomDeviceCapability(Vintasoft.Twain.Device device)
{
    // open the device
    device.Open();

    System.UInt16 customCapId = 30000;
    // add the "custom" capability to the device capability collection
    device.Capabilities.Add(customCapId);

    // get the "custom" capability
    Vintasoft.Twain.DeviceCapability cap30000 = device.Capabilities.Find(customCapId);
    try
    {
        // set the current value of "custom" capability to True
        cap30000.SetValue(true);
    }
    catch (System.Exception ex)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Error: {0}", ex.Message));
    }
}
