GroupNumber Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value that indicates the group number to use when writing Datamatrix symbols.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public int GroupNumber { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger groupNumber;

public int getGroupNumber() 
public void setGroupNumber(int value)

public: 
property int GroupNumber { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
}

GroupNumber # get and set (DatamatrixBarcodeWriteOptions)

Property Value

An Int32 that indicates the group number to use when writing Datamatrix symbols. Must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 16. Default value is 0.

Remarks

Datamatrix barcodes support the concept of groups of related symbols. Use the following properties to write a group of related symbols:

GroupTotal - Specifies the total number of Datamatrix symbols in the group specified by GroupNumber. The maximum number of symbols in a group is 16.
GroupNumber - Specifies a group of Datamatrix symbols. The maximum number of symbols in a group is 16. Use this property to specify the order of each barcode in a group so that when you read each barcode's data, you can put large pieces of data back together in the correct order.
FileIdNumberLowByte - 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.
FileIdNumberHighByte - 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.
