The AutoFormsEngine Constructor(IMasterFormsRepository,List<IOcrEngine>,BarcodeEngine,AutoFormsRecognitionManager) is available as an add-on to the LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.
Initializes a new AutoFormsEngine class object that uses multi-threads to perform AutoFormsEngine functionalities such as recognition and processing.Visual Basic (Declaration) | |

Parameters
- repository
- Repository of the Master Forms.
- ocrEngines
- List of Leadtools.Forms.Ocr.IOcrEngine that are used for optical character recognition and processing. The size of the list specifies the number of threads to be used in AutoFormsEngine.
- barcodeEngine
- The Leadtools.Barcode.BarcodeEngine that is used for barcode recognition and processing.
- managers
- The Object Managers to be used to recognize forms and generate Master Forms attributes in GenerateMasterFormAttributes.

It is the user's responsibility to dispose of this object when it is no longer needed by calling Dispose.
ocrEngines should be provided. If it is null, an exception is thrown.
If barcodeEngine is null, Leadtools.Forms.Recognition.Barcode.BarcodeObjectsManager will not be used for recognition and Leadtools.Forms.Processing.BarcodeFormField will not be processed.
The MinimumConfidenceRecognized is set to 90, MinimumConfidenceKnownForm is set to 30, and RecognizeFirstPageOnly is set to false.
Multi-threading is recommended since it speeds up form recognition and processing.
To implement your own multiple thread or to not use threads use AutoFormsEngine(IMasterFormsRepository repository, List<IOcrEngine> ocrEngines, BarcodeEngine barcodeEngine, AutoFormsRecognitionManager managers).
