Barcode Regontition Properties for OCX , DLL

AllowDuplicateValues

Overview

The AllowDuplicateValues property can be used to stop the toolkit from reporting duplicate barcodes on the same page in an image. This can be useful for images where the middle section of a barcode is badly damaged or missing. With the property set to TRUE the toolkit may report that there are 2 barcodes of the same type and value. With the property set to FALSE it would assume that the 2 barcodes were part of a single barcode and set the bounding rectangle accordingly.

Default value = TRUE

Visual Basic using the OCX

[form.]SoftekBarcode.AllowDuplicateValues = value

Visual Basic using the DLL

Private Declare Function stGetAllowDuplicateValues Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Boolean
Private Declare Function stSetAllowDuplicateValues Lib "SoftekBarcode" (ByVal newValue As Boolean) As Boolean

BitmapResolution

Overview

BitmapResolution is the resolution of the bitmap to be scanned, in dots per inch. This value only effects the expected size of the quiet area around a barcode and for most images can be left to the default value.

Default value = 200

Visual Basic using the OCX

[form.]SoftekBarcode.BitmapResolution = value

Visual Basic using the DLL

Private Declare Function stGetBitmapResolution Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Integer

Code39Checksum

Overview

When True the toolkit will only report Code 39 barcodes where the last character is a valid checksum for the rest of the barcode. The toolkit expects a Code 39 checksum to be calculated using modulus-43.

For example, the barcode "7654R" encodes the number "7654" with a checksum character of "R". Using default settings the toolkit will report this barcode as "7654R" because it does not expect the last character to be a checksum. If ShowCheckDigit is false and Code39Checksum is true then the toolkit will validate the "R" as the checksum and then return the string "7654". This also applies if an application is using the NumericBarcode property. Unless Code39Checksum is set to True then this barcode would not be reported by the toolkit because it contains a non-numeric character.

Default Value: False

Visual Basic using the OCX

[form.]SoftekBarcode.Code39Checksum = value

Visual Basic using the DLL

Private Declare Function stGetCode39Checksum Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Boolean

ColorThreshold

Overview

ColorThreshold is the color value used by the control to decide whether a pixel should be considered to be black or white. The value should be in the range 0 to 255.

If ColorThreshold has a value of 0 then the toolkit will perform a median analysis of the image to determine the best value to use.

LineJump

Overview

When the OCX scans an image for a barcode string it does not scan every line of the image. The LineJump setting controls how many scan lines are missed between checks for a barcode. A LineJump value of 1 means that every scan line in the image will be checked. A lower value for LineJump will impact the performance of the OCX but may be useful for poor quality images.

Default value = 1

MinOccurrence

Overview

When the OCX scans the image for barcode it counts the number of times each barcode string occurrs. If the count for a string is the same or greater than PrefOccurrence then the barcode string is counted as a positive match. If no string can be found this way then the OCX looks for strings that occurred with a count of at least MinOccurrence and counts these as positive matches.

NoiseReduction

Overview

If the NoiseReduction property is none zero then the ScanBarCode method will run an image through a noise reduction filter before scanning for barcodes . The filter removes marks from an image that are unlikely to be part of a barcode. A larger value for NoiseReduction will remove larger marks from the image. This increases the chances of finding a barcode in a poor quality image but also increases the time taken to process an image. A typical value for NoiseReduction is 10.

Default value = 0

[form.]SoftekBarcode.NoiseReduction = value

Visual Basic using the DLL

Pattern

Overview

The Pattern property is a regular expression that each barcode found in an image is compared against. The toolkit will only return barcodes that match the pattern.

The toolkit use POSIX extended regular expression syntax.

Examples:

"ABCDEF" will match all barcodes containing "ABCDEF" (e.g "XYZABCDEFXYZ") .
"ABC[0-9]+" will match all barcodes containing "ABC" followed by one or more digits (e.g XYZABC71827XYZ").
"^ABC[0-9]+$" will match barcodes that only consist of "ABC" followed by one or more digits (e.g "ABC12345").

Note that if a Code 39 barcode uses a checksum character and the Pattern property is used to specify the entire string (ie. the last character of the pattern is $) then the Code39Checksum property must also be set to True.

Default value = NULL

Photometric

Overview

The Photometric property determines how the toolkit interprets a pixel value in a bitmap. A photometric value of 0 means that a pixel value of 0 if considered to represent the color black. A photometric value of 1 means that a pixel value of 0 is considered to represent the color white. This property is only used in conjunction with the ScanBarcodeFromBitmap method. The ScanBarcodeFromDIB method does not refer to this property because the color map is stored within the DIB.

PrefOccurrence

Overview

When the OCX scans the image for barcode it counts the number of times each barcode string occurrs. If the count for a string is the same or greater than PrefOccurrence then the barcode string is counted as a positive match. If no string can be found this way then the OCX looks for strings that occurred with a count of at least MinOccurrence and counts these as positive matches.

Default value = 5

TifSplitMode

Overview

TifSplitMode controls the way in which multi-page TIF files are split into sub-files when the TifSplitPath property is set. A value of 0 means that the sub-files will each start on a page with a bar code (or page 1). A value of 1 means that each sub-file will terminate on a page with a barcode (or the last page).

For example, a 6 page TIF file with barcodes on pages 2 and 5 will split as follows:

TifSplitMode = 0: First sub-file contains page 1. Second sub-file contains pages 2, 3 and 4. Third sub-file contains pages 5 and 6.

TifSplitMode = 1: First sub-file contains pages 1 and 2. Second sub-file contains pages 3, 4 and 5. Third sub-file contains page 6.
