Syntax<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Loading from xml file:<\/strong><\/p>\n

.net\/java:\u00a0Object.LoadXMLSettings<\/strong>(file)
\ncom\/ocx:\u00a0Object.LoadXMLSettings<\/strong>(file, silent)
\ndll:\u00a0mtLoadXMLSettings<\/strong>(hbarcode, file, silent)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loading from string:<\/strong><\/p>\n

.net\/java:\u00a0Object.LoadXMLSettings<\/strong>(string)
\ncom\/ocx:\u00a0Object.LoadXMLSettings<\/strong>(string, silent)
\ndll:\u00a0mtLoadXMLSettings<\/strong>(hbarcode, string, silent)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parameters<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

hBarcode\u00a0Handle to an instance of the barcode toolkit (dll only).
\nfile\u00a0Path to the xml file to be loaded.
\nstring\u00a0String holding the xml property values.
\nsilent\u00a0Integer or boolean value. 1\/True will suppress error messages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Return Value<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/True on success and 0\/False on failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remarks<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Load\u00a0settings from the\u00a0specified XML file or string. This method can also be used to define sets of properties to be applied sequentially to an image until a barcode is located. It’s also possible to specify properties that only apply to particular pages\u00a0of an image. The silent parameter controls whether message message boxes will be displayed if there is a parsing error.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note that when loading from a string the XML data can be in the abbreviated form:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<PropertyName<\/em>>Value<\/em><\/PropertyName<\/em>>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the com object, use the XMLRetval property to obtain the return value for the function.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The simplest format for the xml is as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<xml>
\n<SoftekBarcode>
\n<Properties>
\n<PropertyName<\/em>>PropertyValue<\/em><\/PropertyName<\/em>>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<\/SoftekBarcode>
\n<\/xml><\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set MedianFilter to 1 (True) and set ReadCode25 to 0 (False).<\/strong><\/p>\n

<xml>
\n<SoftekBarcode>
\n<Properties>
\n<MedianFilter>1<\/MedianFilter>
\n<ReadCode25>0<\/ReadCode25>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<\/SoftekBarcode>
\n<\/xml><\/strong><\/p>\n

The xml file can also be used to apply sets of properties sequentially to an image until a barcode is found:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This example first applies default values to an image. If no barcode is found then a MedianFilter is applied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<xml>
\n<SoftekBarcode>
\n<Properties>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<Properties>
\n<MedianFilter>1<\/MedianFilter>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<\/SoftekBarcode>
\n<\/xml><\/strong><\/p>\n

This example restricts the search to the first 3 pages of an image, until a barcode is located:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<xml>
\n<SoftekBarcode>
\n<Properties>
\n<PageNo>1<\/PageNo>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<Properties>
\n<PageNo>2<\/PageNo>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<Properties>
\n<PageNo>3<\/PageNo>
\n<\/Properties>
\n<\/SoftekBarcode>
\n<\/xml><\/strong><\/p>\n

The default set of properties can be found in the manual page for\u00a0ExportXMLSettings.<\/strong><\/p>\n
