Imaging for Windows SDK (Software Development Kit) and ActiveX controls

For Microsoft Windows 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 X or Vista .

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.

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 powerful ActiveX controls or the Server Access COM object 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 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.
