Parameters

HANDLE
A Window Handle IE: Me.Handle. In most applications you can use nothing but on Citrix and WTS, this must be a top-level window or a child of a top level window.

Return Value

0: The bitmap could not created. Use the GetStat(), TwainGetLastResultCode() and TwainGetLastConditionCode() methods for diagnosing the error. Non-zero: DIB handle. This handle must be subsequently released using the MemoryUtils.Free() method.
Remarks
By default, the default data source (DS) is opened, displays its dialog, and determines all the parameters of the acquisition and transfer. If you want to (try to) hide the DS dialog, see TwainSetHideUI. Before using this method check that the TWAIN state is >= 4 (TWAIN_SOURCE_OPEN) To get the TWAIN state, use the TwainGetState() method. To set the TWAIN state to 4, use the TwainOpenDefaultSource() or TwainOpenSource() method.

This method requires the Document Capture (TWAIN / WIA) component to run.
