Well, now, that's just plain...well, we won't go there...

The deprecated stuff won't work under 10.5, will it?

Namaste!

After having read through the ICA API documentation & looking at the sample apps, I've noticed:

1. The online dox appear to be ahead of anything else.
2. The sample apps employ deprecated calls and are written w/o conforming to
the dox.
3. The ICA API Test app also does not quite match up to the written material.


Anyone have a working, up-to-date sample for a simple scanner/camera interface he/she would care to share?

Implementing code generated by the ICA API Test app is throwing errors that I'm not easily tracking down.

Thanks!

ICA isn't part of Cocoa, so you won't get a good answer from this list, but I can indeed confirm from experience that:

1) the documentation is weak
2) newly-introduced functions in 10.5 (such as for downloading images
to RAM) are completely broken
3) it is therefore best to continue to use the deprecated APIs

If you will be relying on lots of ICA features, be prepared for many
long nights.

Cheers,
M
