BarcodeGeneratorMBS.Constructor

BarcodeGeneratorMBS.Destructor

BarcodeGeneratorMBS.Encode(text as string, width as single = 0, height as single = 0, RotationAngle as Integer = 0)

Var b as new BarcodeGeneratorMBS
b.Symbology = b.BarcodeQrcode
b.Scale = 2
b.BorderWidth = 4
b.Encode "Hello Xojo Developer!"
Backdrop = b.Picture

If width is zero, we use automatic width.
If height is zero, we use automatic height. Default height for some 2D bars is 30 units.
RotationAngle can be 0, 90, 180 or 270.
You can set options before calling and query other properties (like picture after this)

For the size, be aware that some types like UPC codes have fixed size depending on content. Or the size class for QRCode is calculated based on the text length.

BarcodeGeneratorMBS.SVG as String

Var z as new BarcodeGeneratorMBS

// try QR Code
z.Symbology = BarcodeGeneratorMBS.BarcodeQrcode
z.Encode "Hello World"

Var s1 as string = z.SVG

// try SVG
z.Symbology = BarcodeGeneratorMBS.BarcodeEanX
z.Encode "123456789012"

Var s2 as string = z.SVG

break // check SVG

Lasterror and ErrorText are set.

BarcodeGeneratorMBS.WritePS(path as string) as Integer

Var z as new BarcodeGeneratorMBS

z.Symbology = BarcodeGeneratorMBS.BarcodeUpca
z.Encode "72527270270"

Var f as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("barcode.eps")
Var e as Integer = z.WritePS(f.NativePath)
if z.ErrorText.len >0 then
  MsgBox z.ErrorText
else
  MsgBox "OK"
end if

Returns error code. Lasterror and ErrorText is also set.
File path should be ASCII only (other characters not guaranteed) and maybe point to temp file somewhere.

Some examples using this method:

• /Barcode/generate/Barcode as SVG and EPS

BarcodeGeneratorMBS.WriteSVG(path as string) as Integer

Var z as new BarcodeGeneratorMBS

Var e as Integer = z.WriteSVG(f.NativePath)
if z.ErrorText.len >0 then
  MsgBox z.ErrorText
