Type Property (DataItem)

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property Type As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DataItem
Dim value As String
 
instance.Type = value
 
value = instance.Type

public string Type {get; set;}

public:
property String^ Type {
   String^ get();
   void set (    String^ value);
}

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown when the property is set to an invalid Type string.

This property holds the type of the data item. It allows you to store multiple data items within a single form set or form definition file and distinguish between them.

You may use a data item to store your own data in the form set or form definition file. If you do so, you should always begin the name of the type with "_". This rule ensures that types you define will not conflict with types that Accusoft defines in the future.

The table below describes how the Type property is used to store and retrieve information from other Accusoft components.

Value	Usage
FormFix/Identification	This identifies a stream to pass to FormFix IdentificationProcessor ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by FormFix IdentificationProcessor WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in FormSet.Identification.
FormFix/DropOut	This identifies a stream to pass to FormFix DropOutProcessor ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by FormFix DropOutProcessor WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Construction.
FormFix/FieldTypeClassificationProcessor	This identifies a stream to pass to FormFix FieldTypeClassificationProcessor ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by FormFix FieldTypeClassificationProcessor WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Operations.
FormFix/OMR	This identifies a stream to pass to FormFix OMRProcessor ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by FormFix OMRProcessor WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Operations.
FormFix-Internal/*	This identifies a stream to pass to FormFix ReadDataItem event. This identifies a stream created by FormFix WriteDataItem event. This stream should be stored in FormSet.OtherDataItems or FormDefinition.OtherDataItems.
SmartZone/Recognition	This identifies a stream to pass to SmartZone ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by SmartZone WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Operations. Please note that this value is only appropriate for the older SmartZone 2; newer versions of SmartZone use the SmartZoneOCR/Recognition and SmartZoneICR/Recognition values.
SmartZoneOCR/Recognition	This identifies a stream to pass to SmartZoneOCR ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by SmartZoneOCR WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Operations.
SmartZoneICR/Recognition	This identifies a stream to pass to SmartZoneICR ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by SmartZoneICR WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Operations.
ScanFix/Enhancement	This identifies a stream to pass to ScanFix EnhancementOptions ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by ScanFix EnhancementOptions WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in FormSet.Operations, FormDefinition.Operations or Field.Operations.
MICR/Recognition	This identifies a stream to pass to MicrXpress ReadFromStream method. This identifies a stream created by MicrXpress WriteToStream method. This stream should be stored in Field.Operations.

Note: Changing this property will cause the HasChanged property to change to true.

Valid values: Any type that an Accusoft component defines or any string that begins with "_".

Default value: ""
