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
stSetAllowDuplicateValues (value)
value = stGetAllowDuplicateValues ()
Visual Basic using COM
oBar = CreateObject("SoftekATL.Barcode")
.........
oBar.AllowDuplicateValues = value
value = oBar.AllowDuplicateValues
VB.Net using the DLL
Private Declare Function stGetAllowDuplicateValues Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Boolean
Private Declare Function stSetAllowDuplicateValues Lib "SoftekBarcode" (ByVal newValue As Boolean) As Boolean
stSetAllowDuplicateValues (value)
value = stGetAllowDuplicateValues ()
VB.Net using the SoftekBarcode Wrapper Class
Dim barcode As SoftekBarcode
..........
barcode.SetAllowDuplicateValues(value)
value = barcode.GetAllowDuplicateValues()
VB.Net using the SoftekBarcodeLib Managed Component
Dim barcode As SoftekBarcodeLib.BarcodeReader
Dim value As Bool
..........
barcode = New SoftekBarcodeLib.BarcodeReader()
..........
barcode.AllowDuplicateValues = value
value = barcode.AllowDuplicateValues
Visual C++ Using the OCX
BOOL GetAllowDuplicateValues() ;
void SetAllowDuplicateValues(BOOL value);
Visual C++ Using the DLL
BOOL __stdcall stGetAllowDuplicateValues();
BOOL __stdcall stSetAllowDuplicateValues(BOOL bNewValue);
