Parameters

hwndParent [in]

Type: BSTR*

Pointer to a string that receives the identifier string of the device.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

This method can return one of these values.

Return code	Description
S_OK	Device was successfully selected.
S_FALSE	User canceled the dialog box.
WIA_S_NO_DEVICE_AVAILABLE	No WIA 2.0 hardware devices match the specifications given in the lDeviceType parameter.

Remarks

This method creates and displays the Select Device dialog box so the user can select a WIA 2.0 device for image acquisition. If a device is successfully selected, the IWiaDevMgr2::SelectDeviceDlgID method passes its identifier string to the application through its pbstrDeviceID parameter.

The application can restrict the devices displayed to the user to particular types by specifying the device types through the lDeviceType parameter. If only one device meets the specification, IWiaDevMgr2::SelectDeviceDlgID does not display the Select Device dialog box. Instead it passes the device's identifier string to the application without displaying the dialog box. You can override this behavior and force IWiaDevMgr2::SelectDeviceDlgID to display the dialog box by passing WIA_SELECT_DEVICE_NODEFAULT as the value for the lFlags parameter. If more than one WIA 2.0 device matches the specification, all matching devices are displayed in the SelectDevice dialog box so the user may choose one.

Note

It is recommended that applications make device and image selection available through a menu item named From scanner on the File menu.
