[Q] Ruby & TWAIN

[Ben Sharpe]

Just curious,

Has anyone tried to access Twain-compliant scanners on Windows via Ruby?

Thanks,

You will need to use the Win32API class to call methods in twain.dll.
Here's a .NET version for guidance -

You might also want to check out the newer Windows Image Acquisition
API (it also has an OLE interface)

Use the 'dl' library instead of Win32API. It's newer and better.
