The BARCODEWRITEDM structure contains information used to write ECC 200 Data Matrix.
| Member | Description | |
| uStructSize | Size of BARCODEWRITEDM structure in bytes. Use the sizeof operator to calculate this value. | |
| ulFlags | Flags that indicate how to configure the engine. You can combine values when appropriate, by using a bitwise OR ( | ). Possible values are: | |
| Flags | Meaning | |
| BARCODE_JUSTIFY_RIGHT | [0x1000] Justify the Data Matrix symbol to the right side of the bitmap. | |
| BARCODE_JUSTIFY_H_CENTER | [0x2000] Justify the Data Matrix symbol in the horizontal center of the bitmap. | |
| BARCODE_JUSTIFY_BOTTOM | [0x4000] Justify the Data Matrix symbol to the bottom side of the bitmap. | |
| BARCODE_JUSTIFY_V_CENTER | [0x8000] Justify the Data Matrix symbol in the vertical center of the bitmap. | |
| cGroupNumber | Specifies a group of Data Matrix symbols. The maximum number of symbols in a group is 16. Use this member to specify the order of each barcode in a group so that when you read each barcode's data, you can put the large piece of data back together in the correct order. | |
| cGroupTotal | Specifies the total number of Data Matrix symbols in the group specified by the cGroupNumber member. The maximum number of symbols in a group is 16. | |
| cFileIDLo | Specifies the low byte of the file ID number. The number must range from 1 to 254. Use this as an ID for the group since an image can have multiple groups. | |
| cFileIDHi | Specifies the high byte of the file ID number. The number must range from 1 to 254. Use this as an ID for the group since an image can have multiple groups. | |
| nXModule | The size of the written Data Matrix barcode, specified in 0.001 inch. If the value is too small, a minimum of 5 pixels will be used. | |
pBARCODEWRITEDM is a pointer to an BARCODEWRITEDM structure. When the function parameter type is pBARCODEWRITEDM, you can declare a BARCODEWRITEDM variable, update the structure's fields, and pass the variable's address in the parameter. Declaring a pBARCODEWRITEDM variable is necessary only if your program requires a pointer.
This structure is used by the L_BarCodeWrite function.
Use the cGroupNumber, CGroupTotal, CFileIDLo, cFileIDHi members whenever it is necessary to split up the information that needs to be encoded into different barcodes.
