SearchDirection Property

Summary
Gets or sets a value that indicates the direction to use when searching for barcodes.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public BarcodeSearchDirection SearchDirection { get; set; } 
@property (nonatomic, assign) LTBarcodeSearchDirection searchDirection; 
public BarcodeSearchDirection getSearchDirection() 
public void setSearchDirection(BarcodeSearchDirection value) 
public: 
property BarcodeSearchDirection SearchDirection { 
   BarcodeSearchDirection get(); 
   void set (    BarcodeSearchDirection ); 
} 
SearchDirection # get and set (MicroPDF417BarcodeReadOptions)

Property Value

A BarcodeSearchDirection enumeration member that indicates the direction to use when searching for barcodes. The default value is BarcodeSearchDirection.Horizontal.

Remarks

The BarcodeReader class can search for barcodes in the image horizontally or vertically. By default, the reader will only search for barcodes horizontally due to performance reasons. But you may change to the appropriate read barcode option and specify either vertical or both (horizontal and vertical) search direction.
