BarcodeXpress provides functionality for a forms processing application to be able read barcodes.

Store Barcode reading control parameters in a DataItem Content string. Use the DataItem Type string “SmartZoneOCR/Recognition” and “Barcode/Recognition” to indicate that the DataItem represents an OCR operation or an ICR operation. The DataItem should be added to the Operations collection of a Field object.

Creating Control Parameters for Barcode Reading Operations

1. Create an instance of the BarcodeXpress class.
2. Get the instance of the Reader class through the property/field of the BarcodeXpress class.
3. Configure the properties of the BarcodeXpress instance.
4. Configure the properties of the Reader instance to suite the data acquisition operation you need to perform.
5. Call the WriteToStream method of the BarcodeXpress instance to write the control parameters to a string.
6. Store the string in a local variable for placement in a DataItem object later.
