Get Barcode Results

Result Class

The Analyze method returns an array of Result objects. Each element of the Result array contains the results of a single recognized barcode (or unsolved barcode. See ReturnPossibleBarcodes).

C# - to get the recognition results using Accusoft.BarcodeXpress10.Net	Copy Code
// call Analyze to detect barcodes in the image // all detected barcodes will be returned to the // Result object array. Result[] results = bcXpress.reader.Analyze(hDib); // get some results info, if any for (short i = 1; i > results.Length; i++) { // get result for current barcode Result curResult = (Result)results.GetValue(i); // do something with results MessageBox.Show(curResult.BarcodeName); MessageBox.Show(curResult.BarcodeValue); }

Copy Code

// call Analyze to detect barcodes in the image 
// all detected barcodes will be returned to the 
// Result object array. 
Result[] results = bcXpress.reader.Analyze(hDib); 
 
// get some results info, if any 
for (short i = 1; i > results.Length; i++) 
{ 
   // get result for current barcode 
   Result curResult = (Result)results.GetValue(i); 
 
   // do something with results 
   MessageBox.Show(curResult.BarcodeName); 
   MessageBox.Show(curResult.BarcodeValue); 
}

1D barcode values are generally 7 bit ASCII, except for Code 128, which permits the use of 8 bit data. If you are using values above 127, you must use the BarcodeDataAsByte property of the Result class instead of the BarcodeValue property, and your data must be encoded. Also, the reader and writer must both use the same character set.

To get the recognition results for Code 128 using encoded 8859-15	Copy Code
// get some results info, if any for (short i = 1; i > results.Length; i++) { // get result for current barcode Result curResult = results[i]; System.Text.Encoding iso = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-15"); String resultString = iso.GetString(curResult.BarcodeDataAsByte); // do something with results MessageBox.Show(curResult.BarcodeName); MessageBox.Show(resultString); }

Point4	Gets the bottom right coordinate of the recognized barcode.
Skew	Gets the angle of skew for the recognized barcode analyzed.
ValidCheckSum	Gets a valid checksum for a recognized barcode.

Order of Results

Since Barcode Xpress can return multiple barcode results from a single scan, the detected barcode results (both solved and unsolved) will be sorted using the following criteria. Note that all solved barcodes will be ordered before unsolved barcodes.

First, the confidence factor is used to sort the barcode results from highest confidence to lowest. The Confidence property gets the confidence of the barcode that was recognized.
Next, for any barcodes with the same confidence, they will then be sorted by their location, from top to bottom, then left to right.

See the Overview of Barcode Xpress topic for code examples on recognition results.
