IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream method (wia_lh.h)

The IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream method is implemented by an image processing filter. It is called by the WIA service as a result of an application calling IWiaTransfer::Download or the preview component's IWiaPreview::GetNewPreview](/windows/win32/wia/-wia-iwiapreview-getnewpreview).

Syntax

HRESULT GetNextStream(
  [in]  LONG    lFlags,
  [in]  BSTR    bstrItemName,
  [in]  BSTR    bstrFullItemName,
  [out] IStream **ppDestination
);

Parameters

[in] lFlags

Reserved, set to zero.

[in] bstrItemName

Specifies a string containing the name of the item.

[in] bstrFullItemName

Specifies a string containing the full name of the item.

[out] ppDestination

Specifies a pointer to the output stream.

Return value

Returns S_OK if successful, or a standard COM error value otherwise.

Remarks

An image processing filter's implementation of IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream and IWiaTransferCallback::TransferCallback are called during image acquisition, when the WIA mini-driver asks for the destination stream from the client and when the mini-driver sends progress messages back to the application.

An image processing filter's implementation of IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream must delegate to the application's IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream method. The image processing filter then uses the stream returned by the application callback's IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream implementation to create its own stream (the "filtering stream") that it passes back to the WIA service.

In its IWiaTransferCallback::GetNextStream implementation, the image processing filter should read which properties are needed for its image processing from the item for which the image is being acquired. The filter must not read the properties directly from the pWiaItem2 passed into IWiaImageFilter::InitializeFilter; rather it must call IWiaItem2::FindItemByName](/windows/win32/wia/-wia-iwiaitem2-finditembyname) on this WIA item to obtain the actual WIA item. The reason is that during a folder transfer the images acquired correspond to the child items of pWiaItem2 rather than to pWiaItem2 itself.

This method is not called by the preview component during IWiaPreview::UpdatePreview.
