Add a Web Capture action

Use the Web Capture action to perform actions, such as scan, select scanner, import and delete pages.

You can associate a Web Capture action on any button click and not just depend on the Web Capture control toolbar to perform these actions.

The Web Capture Control supports the following events:

  • OnDocumentSaveComplete: When a scanned or uploaded document is saved, this event is fired.

  • IngestionStarted: When you scan or upload a document, this event disables the File Upload control because, during scan the folder is locked and it is not possible to upload a file.

  • IngestionCompleted: When scan or upload is completed and new pages are ingested, this event saves the changes and enables the File Upload control.

  • DocumentChanged: When a Web Capture control changes the document structure, that is, when a page is deleted or moved within the document, this event is fired.

  • PageIndexChanged: When the selected page index changes, this event is fired.

  • ControlUndocked and ControlDocked: When a document viewer of the Web Capture control is undocked (detached) or docked, these events are fired.

Note The Next Page and Previous Page actions and similar toolbar buttons do not change the selected page index; they just scroll the viewer to the next or previous page.
