Web capture control

Use a Web capture control to create, scan and view documents.

The Web Capture Control can display documents from the Capture document repository and the following custom sources:

  • Local path on the Web server

  • Windows file share

  • HTTP GET URL

All types of documents (images and eDocs such as PDF, DOC, XLS, and more) that are loaded from the custom sources are rendered as images if the "Use eDoc rendering" option is enabled in the Web Capture control.

If a document is loaded from the custom source, a few buttons available on the Web Capture control toolbar, such as Save, Delete Page, and more are disabled. See the TotalAgility Web Capture Control Help for more information.

Using a Web capture control, you can do the following:

  • Create multi-page documents.

  • Create a new document in a new folder.

  • Create a new document in an existing folder or subfolder.

  • Scan and view a document. Use the document ID to view the document.

  • Specify the type of a newly created document or folder.

  • Add new pages to an existing document.

    The control lets you add new pages to an existing document but does not let you replace the document.

  • View all the pages of a newly created or existing document.

  • Delete pages that have been incorrectly scanned.

  • Selectively hide specific buttons at design time and only display the selected ones at runtime.

  • Undock the image or document viewer from the main form and display it in a separate browser window so that it can be viewed on a second monitor.

  • Permanently alter the image, so that you can remove sensitive information that should not reside in your database.

  • Add sticky notes.

The Web capture control is not supported on touch enhanced phone and tablet forms.
