Operation Property

Summary
Gets the current barcode read operation.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation Operation { get; } 
@property (nonatomic, assign, readonly) LTBarcodeReadSymbologyOperation operation 
public BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation getOperation() 
public: 
property BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation Operation { 
   BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation get(); 
} 

Property Value

A BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation enumeration member that specifies the current barcode read operation.

Remarks

The value of Operation is set by the BarcodeReader object as follows:

Value Description
BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation.PreRead

The BarcodeReader object is about to read the barcode symbologies in GetSymbologies.

The input parameters are: The symbologies to be read can be obtained through the GetSymbologies method and the associated read options are in the Options property.

BarcodeReadSymbologyOperation.PostRead

The BarcodeReader has finished reading the barcode symbologies.

The input parameters are: The symbologies to be read can be obtained through the GetSymbologies method and the associated read options are in the Options property.

The resulting parameters are: The barcode data found which is in the Data property and may contain a valid BarcodeData object or null (Nothing in Visual Basic) when an error occurs or no barcode of this type is found. In case of an error, the exception is in the Error property (Refer to BarcodeReader.ErrorMode for more information).
