WIA transfer constants

This topic contains a list of the constants that are used for WIA IStream-based transfers.

These constants are divided into three subgroups:

Item type

The following table shows which WIA item type bits relate to stream-based data transfer.

Name	Description
WiaItemTypeTransfer	This WIA_IPA_ITEM_FLAGS bit should be set on all items that are capable of transferring data; that is, an application can initiate a download or upload on items that have this bit set.

The following table shows possible values for the lFlags parameter of IWiaTransferCallback::TransferCallback.

Name	Description
WIA_TRANSFER_MSG_STATUS	Notifies the application of the progress of the transfer. pWiaTransferParams->lPercentComplete contains the percent complete for this item and the page that is being transferred.
WIA_TRANSFER_MSG_END_OF_STREAM	Notifies the application that there is no more data to be transferred to the current data stream and that the stream may be closed. A new stream may subsequently be requested in a multi-item or multipage transfer. Drivers do not send this message manually. The WIA service will automatically send this message when the driver asks for the next stream.
WIA_TRANSFER_MSG_END_OF_TRANSFER	Received by the application at the end of the transfer. The driver does not send this message. The WIA service will send this message automatically after the transfer has ended (that is, the call to IWiaMiniDrv::drvAcquireItemData returns).
WIA_TRANSFER_MSG_ERROR	Reserved by Microsoft for future use.
WIA_TRANSFER_MSG_DEVICE_STATUS	Indicates an error during the transfer (for example, a paper jam). pWiaTransferParams->hrErrorStatus contains the error status code.
WIA_TRANSFER_MSG_NEW_PAGE	Indicates that a new page is being transferred during a multipage transfer when a format that supports multiple pages in one file (such as multifile TIFF) is being used.

The following table shows the flags that may be passed into IWiaMiniDrv::drvAcquireItemData.

Name	Description
WIA_MINIDRV_TRANSFER_DOWNLOAD	Indicates that the transfer is a stream-based download operation (that is, a data transfer from a device to an application). Applications do not set this bit directly. The WIA service sets this bit if the application calls IWiaTransfer::Download.
WIA_MINIDRV_TRANSFER_UPLOAD	Indicates that the transfer is a stream-based upload operation (that is, a data transfer from an application to a device). Applications do not set this bit directly. The WIA service sets this bit if the application calls IWiaTransfer::Upload.
WIA_MINIDRV_TRANSFER_ACQUIRE_CHILDREN	Indicates that the driver should perform a folder transfer. If this value is called on a folder item, the application requests to transfer the children of that folder. This value will be set if an application requests a folder transfer by setting the lFlags parameter of IWiaTransfer::Download to WIA_TRANSFER_ACQUIRE_CHILDREN and the driver has specified that it can transfer multiple children in one scan. If the driver cannot perform this type of transfer, the WIA service will make multiple calls into the driver and WIA_MINIDRV_TRANSFER_ACQUIRE_CHILDREN will not be set.
