#16 Twain cs sample MacOS

[Aleksandr Kashkevich]

Hi there!

I am trying to make twain cs samples work on mac os 10.8.5, using mono and Epson DS-560. I managed to make it work on windows, but merely the same steps don't work out for Mac. twain lifecycle seems to be fine . I am going open DSM -> open DS -> Enable DS. Enable DS returns success status and literally nothing happens. By this point on win machine i get scanner feeder work, and document gets scanned, but on mac it doesn't. And another thing is if i send enableds with show ui flag being true, i am seeing native epson scan window and if click scan button on this window, feeder is starting. I am really stuck at this point, i was trying to follow call stack and stoped at native call to twain.framework still returning success status. Am i doing something wrong?

I faced this issue too. And I have the c++ code which 100% worked. Do the same steps on mac in c#, and no success.

The TWAIN DSM on the Mac, which Apple installs, appears to have a bug when it comes to support for the DAT_CALLBACK/DAT_CALLBACK2 operations. Basically, the DSM refuses to deliver them to the application. I've gotten around this for my own drivers with a DSM patch, but I'm in a situation right now where I need a more robust solution, myself. I'll update here when I figure something out.

Did some investigation today in comparing cpp sample we have with twaincstst. All I do is precisely the same thing i do in cpp. The only difference is that callback in c# is not being called. Registercall is doing the same thing, returning success. But how does it manage to invoke callbacks from cpp code?

Hello all. In 1.9 specification on page 28 there is instruction how to handle events from dsm. Why does mac version uses Register_Callback instead of passing the null events and filtering the results?
