Using the SDK with Real Studio on Windows is pretty straight forward and version 7.5.1.6 of the SDK now includes a full example. Anyhow, here’s what you need to do to get barcode reading working with Real Basic…<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/h1>\n

Download the barcode reader sdk from\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/h1>\n

Navigate to where the sdk was installed and open the x86 folder, right click on REGISTER.BAT and select “Run as Administrator”. This will run regsvr32 on SoftekATL.dll – which is the dll you will be using later on.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/h1>\n

Open Real Studio and start a new project or open the one you want to use for barcode reading. Click on Project, Add and select “ActiveX Component”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/h1>\n

Click on References, scroll down the list and select “SoftekATL X.X.X Type Library”. You will now be able to declare and use objects of type SoftekATL.CBarcode<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/h1>\n

In the method where you want to read the value of a barcode from an image, add the following code…<\/p>\n

Dim oBarcode As SoftekATL.CBarcode\r\noBarcode = New SoftekATL.CBarcode\r\nDim nBarCodes As Integer\r\noBarcode.MultipleRead = 1\r\noBarcode.ScanBarCode(imagePath)\r\nnBarCodes = oBarcode.BarCodeCount\r\nFor i = 1 To nBarCodes\r\n\u00a0 \u00a0barcodeValue =\u00a0oBarcode.BarString(i)\r\nNext i<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/h1>\n
That’s it – all done. You might want to add a few more lines of code to control what kind of barcodes you want to read and maybe set a license key:<\/p>\n
oBarcode.LicenseKey = \"MY LICENSE KEY\"\r\noBarcode.ReadCode128 = 1\r\noBarcode.ReadQRCode = 1\r\noBarcode.ReadCode25 = 0<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
