I want to give a scanning interface from my VB program. With VB 6.0 enterprise edition on windows 98, where the HP scanner is connected, I'm getting the controls as Kodak Image controls. It is a simple interface with the following code.
Three controls ImgEdit1,ImgScan1 & ImgAdmin1
 ImgScan1.Openscanner
 ImgScan1.StartScan
 ImgScan1.DestImageControl="ImgEdit1"
 ImgScan1.StopScan
 ImgScan1.CloseScanner
In the run mode, it just hangs without doing anything. Scanner is working perfectly.

Hi,

The reason your program doesn't perform anything is that the moment it starts scanning, the StopScan method stops the scanning which is in progress. You should remove the StopScan and CloseScanner methods from the function and out them into dedicated handlers - e.g. the click event of a command button used to stop current scanning.

Also, I would suggest setting the DestImageControl value for the ImgScan1 control in design time.

You will find quite a lot of useful information related to Kodak Image Controls in this site:

There used to be a free reasonably complete sample vb project using the 4 Kodak Image Controls but you now have to pay a small fee for it. However, the paid version comes with an eBook on Kodak Image Controls.
