Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Automation Resources?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any good resources (books, websites other than MSDN, or
newsgroups) for Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Automation?

I'm having trouble getting it working, and the info on MSDN isn't working
for me.

Thank you,

Robert

I hadn't heard of this technology -- thanks.

"The Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library v2.0 provides basic image
acquisition and manipulation functionality to Visual Basic and Scripting
applications." and "... only supported on Windows XP with Service Pack 1
installed." --Microsoft

Not to be obvious but did you try Google?

You probably did -- lots of links not much meat.

I don't know anything about WIA, but in the process
of checking it out I found these links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...iews/aboutwiaau
tomation.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...aaut/wiaautrefe
ntry.asp

Also this, for WinME and XP pre-SP1

msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wia/wia/overviews/startpage.asp

Apparently there's no redistributable for Win95/98/NT4/2000.
(But see link below for notes about Win2000.)

There's also this page:
vbnet.mvps.org/code/imageapi/mswaidll.htm

It's an info and download page by Randy Birch that explains
the use of WIA2 for VB4-6. The DLL download includes a help
file and VB sample code. (VB is similar in format to VBScript,
so the sample code might be of some use.)

Thank you for responding.

I already tried all of the Microsoft links, although I'm not sure about the
vbnet.mvps.org link - I'll have to check that one out. I guess what I was
looking for was a "How To" written by someone who's an expert in using WIA,
or at least has done it several times. No such luck.

Apparently there are some ActiveX controls that can be scripted using
vbscript. That's where I'm focusing my resources on now.
