Reading Barcodes in WinRT (Windows Store) using LEADTOOLS WinRT Libraries

Take the following steps to start a project and to add some code that will load an image and read it's barcodes in a Windows Store application using LEADTOOLS WinRT libraries.

Start Visual Studio 2012
Choose File --> New Project from the menu.
In the New Project dialog box, choose JavaScript and Windows Store as the project template, and choose Blank App in the Templates List.
Type the project name as Read Barcodes in the Project Name field, and then click OK. If desired, type a new location for your project or select a directory using the Browse button, and then click OK.
In the Solution Explorer window, right-click on the References folder for the project and select Add Reference... from the context menu. Browse to the <LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Bin\WinRT\ folder (depending on your target platform), and select the following .WINMD files:
- Leadtools.winmd
- Leadtools.Kernel.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Kernel.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Bmp.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Cmp.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Fax.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Gif.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.J2k.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Png.winmd
- Leadtools.Codecs.Tif.winmd
- Leadtools.Dicom.winmd
- Leadtools.Converters.winmd
- Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core
- Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Utilities
- Leadtools.Barcode
- Leadtools.Barcode.DatamatrixRead
- Leadtools.Barcode.OneD
- Leadtools.Barcode.PdfRead
- Leadtools.Barcode.QrRead
Click the Add button and then click OK to add the above references.

Open the default.html file and copy the below html code into the editor:

             <!DOCTYPE html>

            </head>  
            <body>  
               <input id="btnLoadAndReadBarcodes" type="button" value="Load And Read Barcodes" /> 
               <br />  
               <p id="statusText" ></p> 
               <br />  
               <textarea id="resultsTextArea" readonly="readonly" style="width: 500px; height: 500px" ></textarea>   
               <br />  
            </body> 
            </html>
