Hello,

What is the exact sample code in the documentation that you are trying to use?
About writing Barcode1D on Raster image, the details depend on the programming interface (API, C++ Class Library, DotNet Class Library) that you use. What is the programming interface that you use?

Thanks Maen,

I found out what was the problem , actually i was not saving the file where i was writing.Could U please help me with the new problem which has come up. I want to use a barcode which can contain atleast 17 digits representing the( company prefix and patient id) which type data structure shall i use, ( i am writing the code in c# and the property which i require is BarcodeSearchTypeFlags)

BarcodeSearchTypeFlags.Barcode1dUccean128 property  its not working as it can be used only for reading the bar codes and not for writing them.

 

Thanks and Regards

public void PointOfSaleItemsEAN13(string txtBox1)

{

BarcodeEngine.Startup(BarcodeMajorTypeFlags.Barcodes1d);

RasterCodecs.Startup();

codecs = new RasterCodecs();

codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true;

 

try

{

image = codecs.Load(@"D:\LeadTool\LeadTools\Images\sample1.tif");

// Initialize linear barcodes

BarcodeEngine.Startup(BarcodeMajorTypeFlags.Barcodes1d);

barEngine = new BarcodeEngine();

BarcodeData data = new BarcodeData();

System.Drawing.Rectangle rc = new Rectangle(50, 50, 300, 250);

data.Unit = BarcodeUnit.ScanlinesPerPixels;

data.Location = rc;

data.SearchType = BarcodeSearchTypeFlags.Barcode1dEan13;

string[] barcodeText;

barcodeText = new string[1];

barcodeText[0] = strCompanyPrefix+txtBox1;

data.Data = BarcodeData.ConvertFromStringArray(barcodeText);

BarcodeColor barColor = new BarcodeColor();

barColor.BarColor = Color.Black;

barColor.SpaceColor = Color.White;

Barcode1d bar1d = new Barcode1d();

bar1d.Direction = BarcodeDirectionFlags.Horizontal;

bar1d.OutShowText = true;

bar1d.ErrorCheck = true;

bar1d.StandardFlags = Barcode1dStandardFlags.Barcode1dMsiModulo10 |

Barcode1dStandardFlags.Barcode1dFast |

Barcode1dStandardFlags.Barcode1dCode11C;

 

BarcodeWritePdf barPDF = new BarcodeWritePdf();

BarcodeWriteDatamatrix barDM = new BarcodeWriteDatamatrix();

barDM.Justify = BarcodeJustifyFlags.Right;

barDM.FileIdHigh = 0;

barDM.FileIdLow = 0;

barDM.GroupNumber = 0;

barDM.GroupTotal = 0;

barDM.XModule = 0;

BarcodeWriteQr barQR = new BarcodeWriteQr();

barEngine.Write(image, data, barColor, BarcodeWriteFlags.UseColors | BarcodeWriteFlags.DisableCompression, bar1d, barPDF, barDM, barQR, Rectangle.Empty);

BarcodeEngine.Shutdown();

codecs.Save(image, @"D:\LeadTool\LeadTools\Images\sample2.tif", RasterImageFormat.Tif, 24);

}

catch (BarcodeException ex)

{

MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

}

RasterCodecs.Shutdown();

}

 

This is the modified code it is working fine now the line in bold was the one missing from the demo write method in the documentation.

Hello,

Your code indicates you are using EAN 13 barcode. This type only supports 12 digits. If you want more than that, such as 17 digits, you can use other barcode types, including Code 3 of 9, CODABAR and Code 128.
