Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public char GuessCode2 { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, assign) wchar_t guessCode2;

public char getGuessCode2() 
public void setGuessCode2(char value)

public: 
property char GuessCode2 { 
   char get(); 
   void set (    char ); 
}

GuessCode2 # get and set (OcrCharacter)

Property Value

The character code (value) of the second recognition guess, or zero (0) if none is determined.

Remarks
