The MBS Xojo WIA Plugin
Classes for Windows Image Acquisition to import images from digital cameras. A plugin in the MBS Complete Plugin, also included with Omegabundle for Xojo 2017.

The WIA platform enables imaging/graphics applications to interact with imaging hardware and standardizes the interaction between different applications and scanners. This allows those different applications to talk to and interact with those different scanners without requiring the application writers and scanner manufactures to customize their application or drivers for each application-device combination.
