SearchDirection Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value that indicates the direction to use when searching for barcodes.

Syntax

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 (PostNetPlanetBarcodeReadOptions)

Property Value

An 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 the barcodes horizontally due to performance reasons. Alter this, by changing the appropriate read barcode options to specify vertical or both (horizontal and vertical) search direction.
