Migrating a CodeTyphon scanner application to Lazarus
« on: November 21, 2017, 06:45:12 pm »
Hello, I have a problem migrating a CodeTyphon scanner application to Lazarus.
The problem occurs when communicating between DelphiTwain and the scanner driver.
DelphiTwain got here, compatible with the lazarus:
http://www.kluug.net/delphitwain.php
The scanner is the Kodak i1210.
In CodeTyphon 6.0, the scanner call normally occurs, and the following window attached appears and everything works fine.
I tried some versions of Lazarus, with exactly the same program, and the window does not appear and does not present an error.
The versions I tested are:
Lazarus 1.8 + fpc 3.11;
Lazarus 1.6.4 + fpc 3.0.2;
Lazarus 1.9 + fpc 3.11.

To simulate the error you can use the example program that comes with DelphiTwain in the folder:
DelphiTwain \ examples \ Lazarus

It should be something specific with the Kodak twain driver. Using the TWAIN 2 Sample Data Source emulator (https://sourceforge.net/projects/twain-samples/files/?source=navbar) the Lazarus versions work.

I do not know how to make the kodak driver work for Lazarus.

Do you know ct2laz? You should try it, maybe it is what you need.

Hello Handoko, thanks for the suggestion!
But from what I understand ct2laz converts a specific CodeTyphon package to Lazarus, but DelphiTwain is already for Lazarus.
I could not even quote CodeTyphon, I quoted just because it works on it and it does not work on Lazarus, specifically with the Kodak i1210 Twain driver.
It may be something more specific, in the compilation/code of FPC and not of Lazarus, but when there is no error message, it is difficult to solve the problem.
In the case, the executable tries to present a user interface through the Twain "protocol" in the dll developed by Kodak, but the window does not appear, nor does it give an error.
I get stuck on CodeTyphon.

Try to compare source of DelphiTwain in CT, maybe CT Team made some changes and report.

Post that question to CodeTyphon forum, they broke it....
Specialize a type, not a var.

Thaddy: If you have nothing constructive to say, just leave it.

Does CT compile the 32-bit FPC release COM compatible ( recompile everything with -dTEST_WIN32_SEH) maybe?
