Imaging for Windows

For Microsoft Windows XP and Vista users seeking Kodak Imaging for Windows capabilities and for developers who have used the ActiveX (OCX) controls to integrate imaging functionality within applications, Global360 Imaging for Windows provides the Imaging features found in Microsoft Windows 95 through to Windows 2000 but no longer included in Windows XP.

Global 360 Imaging for Windows makes it easy for you to find, print,  and distribute paper-based documents.  Desktop scanning replaces manual data entry;  annotation does away with paper memos and stick-on notes and replaces endless photocopying and distribution.


The Kodak/Wang OCX (ActiveX) controls; ImgEdit, ImgAdmin, ImgThumb, ImgScan and ImgOCR are included up to release 4.0
With the new release 4.0 there is a separate developer kit containing the ActiveX controls.

 

Use Imaging Out of The Box or Build Custom Applications - Use Imaging for Windows “out of the box” to improve productivity for individuals, work groups, and entire organizations, or leverage its Server Access COM object  or the optional powerful ActiveX controls to create robust custom applications with embedded imaging capabilities. Global 360 (formerly eiStream, Eastman Software, Kodak and Wang) Imaging for Windows ActiveX controls allow developers to add imaging capabilities to programs that support ActiveX, including Visual Basic and Visual C++.

ActiveX Controls & COM Object - Global 360 Imaging for Windows has a separate Software Development Kit (SDK) available which includes a number of objects providing access to key imaging functions. These are:

  • Image Administration Control - Administer image files, provides common dialog boxes for image operations, and manipulates pages within an image file.
  • Image Edit Control - Displays, annotates, manipulates, and manages image files.
  • Image Annotation Tool Button Control - Adds text and graphical annotations to displayed image files.
  • Image Thumbnail Control - Displays thumbnail views of images contained in an image file.
  • Image Scan Control - Scans paper documents via TWAIN-compatible scanners.
  • Image OCR Control - Converts image files to formatted, editable text.
  • Server Access Object (COM Object) - Provides access to Global360 Imaging Server capabilities. The Server Access Object allows applications to use Imaging Server as both a file server and an image server. 

Work in Production -  Imaging for Windows supports an integrated query environment when used as the client for Global360 WMS Imaging and Workflow. In addition it is used as the supporting tool for all client-imaging capabilities for this high-end production imaging product.
