Engine Object (IEngine Interface)
This object is the top object of ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK objects hierarchy. It exposes a set of creation methods and allows you to open a project. The Engine object properties reflect global settings for ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK.
The Engine object is the only externally creatable object among FlexiCapture SDK objects. To create this object, use the EngineLoader object created by the GetEngineLoader function. You can also use other ways to load the Engine object.
After you have received the reference to the Engine object, you can proceed your work with creating a new project or opening existing one. To create a new project, use the CreateProject method. The OpenProject method allows you to open one of the existing projects. You can also create the project with the help of ABBYY FlexiCapture 12, and then use it in ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 SDK.
- Create some additional ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK objects with the help of creation methods.
- Start logging of errors, warnings and method calls.
Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ApplicationTitle | String | Assign the name of your application to this parameter. It will be used as the title for message boxes. By default the value of this property is "ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 SDK". |
| CurrentLicense | License, read-only | Returns the current license. |
| Licenses | LicenseCollection, read-only | Returns a collection of available (activated) licenses. |
| MessagesLanguage | MessagesLanguageEnum |
Defines the language of interaction between ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK and the user. All message boxes, error messages, and recognizer tips will be in this language. This parameter stays on between sessions. By default this property is initialized with the current system language, if this language is available in ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK; otherwise it is set to the language with the lowest code available.
|
| MultiProcessingParams | MultiProcessingParams, read-only | Provides access to the parameters of multiple CPU cores usage. |
| PredefinedLanguages | PredefinedLanguages, read-only | Provides access to the collection of predefined languages of ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK. |
| ParentWindow | __int64 | Stores HWND handle of the main window of an application which uses ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK. This parameter is used to correctly process dialogs and message boxes. You may change this parameter at any time or not to set it at all. ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK uses the standard MFC procedure for finding the main window. If the main window owns any popup windows, the last active popup will be used as the parent window rather than the window specified by this property. If you do not set a value for this property, the procedure of finding the main window may fail, and then ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK will perform incorrectly. |
| Version | String, read-only | Specifies the version of the FCEngine.dll file. For example, "12.0.5.127". |
