ClipHelper.GetClipAsStream3 method

This method creates a new memory stream and writes the one clip to the stream. The stream pointer is reset before returning the stream to the caller. The stream is entirely owned and managed by the caller. This method may be well-suited for simple scenarios where you have only one clip, for example, the Comments field in a single sheet document scanning application.

The IClipHelper properties are initially set to the values for the current sheet as defined in the ScanTools Plus application definition just before the FormIdentified event is raised.

NOTE: The API was introduced in version 8.2.

HRESULT GetClipAsStream3(

[in] long xStart;

[in] long yStart;

[in] long cxSpan;

[in] long cySpan;

[in] SideOfSheet SideOfSheet;  

[out, retval] IStream** ppIStream); 

Input Parameters

xStart

The start position off the clip along the X-axis of the form. The X-axis contains the cell positions that match the scanner read head. It is also the axis that contains the form ID marks.

yStart

The start position off the clip along the y-axis of the form. The y-axis contains the timing marks printed on the guide edge of the form.

cxSpan

The span of the clip along the x-axis of the form.

cySpan

The span of the clip along the y-axis of the form.

SideOfSheet

The side of the sheet to clip.

Special Case

To specify a full page clip, set these to 0:

xStart = 0

yStart = 0

cxSpan = 0

cySpan = 0

NOTE: The Start and Span members are interpreted on the basis of the ClipHelper.ClipCoordinateSpace property being used. The default for this property is OMR– cells and timing marks.

Return Values

Stream

Pointer to the memory stream.
