WIA_IPA_DEPTH

  • Article

The WIA_IPA_DEPTH property contains the bit depth setting of an image. The WIA minidriver creates and maintains this property.

Property Type: VT_I4

Valid Values: WIA_PROP_LIST

Access Rights: Read/write

Remarks

An application reads the WIA_IPA_DEPTH property to determine the bit depth setting of an image. An application may also set this property to the desired bit depth, or to the WIA_DEPTH_AUTO value.

If you can set the device to only a single value, create a WIA_PROP_LIST type and place the valid value in it.

The WIA_DEPTH_AUTO value (defined as 0 bits per pixel) is valid for all programmable image data source items, including the Flatbed and Feeder. When this value is supported by the WIA mini-driver the WIA application client can set WIA_IPA_DEPTH to this value in order to enable automatic color detection at the device.

When the WIA_IPA_DEPTH property is set to WIA_DEPTH_AUTO, the WIA mini-driver must update the WIA_IPA_DATATYPE property on the same item to WIA_DATA_AUTO (which must be a supported value if the device supports automatic color). When the WIA_IPA_DATATYPE value WIA_DATA_AUTO is supported, the WIA_IPA_DEPTH value WIA_DEPTH_AUTO is no longer optional and becomes a required value.
