I’m trying to develop an application that communicates with a scanner. In my research, I found in the Microsoft documentation a Service called Windows image Acquisition that allows this communication of an application with a Scanner:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wia/-wia-startpage
In this documentation is a tutorial on how to communicate with Scanner via C encoding:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wia/-wia-creating-a-wia-device-manager
As I don’t have much knowledge in C I tried to give a Ctrl C Ctrl V, of the code in my IDE code Blocks and tried to complilar to test, but always gives the same error: error: Unknown type name 'HRESULT' I have tried to correct the error seeking solutions on the web, but without success. Actually I’m kind of lost, I don’t know much about the concept of programming and I don’t know if some configuration is missing or something similar for the code to run.
Would someone please help me? Give me a horizon where I start? or how do I run this code?
Thanks in advance :)
the example you’re looking to use seems to be fairly advanced, and since you yourself say you don’t have much knowledge in C so I don’t think you’ll be able to make it work; you should probably look for specific examples for the scanner you’re using
