Parameters

Parameter Description Example
FileName The name of the FileMaker File that contains the script. "test.fmp12"
ScriptName The name of the script to run. "MyScript"

Result

Returns OK or error.

Description

Sets the trigger to notify when new picture arrives.
You get a call for each picture as user may import several.
The parameter to your script is the native file path to the image file.
If scan is to PDF and we use document feeder, be aware that you may get a trigger with same file path again if a new page is added.

Either you use the trigger and process each image there or you can call later IKScannerDevicePanel.ImageCount and IKScannerDevicePanel.NextImage to get the images.

This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.

Examples

Set trigger script:

Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS( "IKScannerDevicePanel.SetTrigger"; Get(FileName); "Scanner Dialog Trigger" )]

Import image in triggered script:

Set Variable [$Path; Value:Get(ScriptParameter)]
Set Variable [$Image; Value:MBS("Container.ReadFile"; $path)]
If [MBS("ISError") = 0]
    New Record/Request
    Set Field [ImageCapture Dialogs::Image; $Image]
    Commit Records/Requests [No dialog]
End If

Clear trigger script:

Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS( "IKScannerDevicePanel.SetTrigger"; ""; "" )]
