public: __property Array* get_BarcodeTypes();
public: __property void set_BarcodeTypes( 
   Array* value
);

   Array^ get();
   void set (    Array^ value);
}

'Declaration
 
Public Property BarcodeTypes As Array

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Reader
Dim value As Array
 
instance.BarcodeTypes = value
 
value = instance.BarcodeTypes

Property Value

The BarcodeType set.

Remarks

By default, the barcode engine searches for all 1D barcodes. The 1D barcode set includes all types, except PatchCodeBarcode, PostNetBarcode, GS1 DataBar, IntelligentMail, Royal Post Mail 4-State, Australian Post 4-State, QR Code, PDF417Barcode, Aztec and DataMatrixBarcode

Barcode types can be combined. The example below demonstrates creating an array of BarcodeTypes.

Default value: BarcodeType.UnknownBarcode (all 1D barcodes)

Note:

If an unknown barcode type and a specified barcode type are flagged, then only the specified barcode type is searched for. For example, if you flagged both UnknownBarcode and Aztec, only Aztec is detected.

If you want to search for Patchcodes, you must only specify the BarcodeType.PatchCodeBarcode type.

If any other type is also selected, Barcode Xpress will search for that other type instead.

If the barcode image quality is poor (i.e. less than 300 dpi), set the BarcodeTypes property to the specific barcode type to obtain accurate results.

Example

// Create BarcodeType Array
System.Array currentBarcodeTypes = new BarcodeType[2];
             
// Add barcode types
currentBarcodeTypes.SetValue(BarcodeType.Industry2of5Barcode, 0);
currentBarcodeTypes.SetValue(BarcodeType.Interleaved2of5Barcode, 1);
             
// Set the BarcodeTypes property
barcodeXpress.reader.BarcodeTypes = currentBarcodeTypes;
