Overview
ScanDirection is a mask that controls the directions in which the barcode reader will look for barcodes in an image, and is built from the following values:
- 1 = Left to Right
- 2 = Top to Bottom
- 4 = Right To Left
- 8 = Bottom to Top
For example, a value of 5 (1 + 4) means that the reader will look for barcode from left to right and right to left.
Note: This property replaces the Rotation property used in previous versions.
Default value = 15
Visual Basic using the OCX
[form.]SoftekBarcode.ScanDirection = value
Visual Basic using the DLL
Private Declare Function stGetScanDirection Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Short
Private Declare Function stSetScanDirection Lib "SoftekBarcode" (ByVal newValue As Short) As Short
stSetScanDirection (value) value = stGetScanDirection ()
Visual Basic using COM
oBar = CreateObject("SoftekATL.Barcode")
.........
oBar.ScanDirection = value
value = oBar.ScanDirection
VB.Net using the DLL
Private Declare Function stGetScanDirection Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Short
Private Declare Function stSetScanDirection Lib "SoftekBarcode" (ByVal newValue As Short) As Short
stSetScanDirection (value) value = stGetScanDirection ()
VB.Net using the SoftekBarcode Wrapper Class
Dim barcode As SoftekBarcode
..........
barcode.SetScanDirection(value)
value = barcode.GetScanDirection()
VB.Net using the SoftekBarcodeLib Managed Component
Dim barcode As SoftekBarcodeLib.BarcodeReader
Dim value As Long
..........
barcode = New SoftekBarcodeLib.BarcodeReader()
..........
barcode.ScanDirection = value
value = barcode.ScanDirection
Visual C++ Using the OCX
BOOL GetScanDirection() ;
void SetScanDirection(short value) ;
Visual C++ Using the DLL
BOOL __stdcall stGetScanDirection();
BOOL __stdcall stSetScanDirection(short bNewValue);
