Component properties.
The properties that can be set to generate an image
Abcnet1.AutoCheckdigit specifies whether any check digits are calculated automatically
Abcnet1.BackColor the colour behind the bars
Abcnet1.BarRatio specifies the ratio of wide/narrow bar for some barcode types
Abcnet1.BarcodeHeight required target height of barcode image (in units determined by the setting of the Unit property)
Abcnet1.BarcodeWidth required target width of barcode image (in units determined by the setting of the Unit property)
Abcnet1.BearerSize specifies the thickness of bearer bars for those barcodes that may have bearer bars
Abcnet1.BorderWidth specifies the thickness of any border around the image
Abcnet1.BothBearers determines whether both upper and lower bearer bars are displayed
Abcnet1.Caption specifies the characters that make up the code
Abcnet1.CodeType specifies the barcode type required
Abcnet1.ExtendBearers Allows bearer bars to extend into light margins.
Abcnet1.ForeColor the colour of the bars and any text under the bars
Abcnet1.Font The font used to render any text under the barcode
Abcnet1.MarginSize specifies the size of the light margins
Abcnet1.Orientation specifies the orientation angle of the barcode image
Abcnet1.Mirror specifies that a mirror image of the symbol is created
Abcnet1. Reduction specifies the percentage reduction in bar thickness (useful for allowing for ink spread in wet-ink printing processes.
Abcnet1.ShowText specifies that the text content of the barcode should be displayed under the bars
Axbarcode.ShowCheckdigit specifies whether any automatic check digit is displayed (for those barcode type which permit this)
Abcnet1.TextAlign specifies the text justification for human readable text under the barcode
Abcnet1.Xunit specifies the thickness of each barcode element in mils (1/1000 inches)
Many of these properties have default values (see the reference section), so do not require changing if you can make do with the default values. The properties that must be set for you to obtain a barcode are
Abcnet1.CodeType specifies the barcode type required
Abcnet1.Caption specifies the characters that make up the code
A typical example of setting these properties is:
Abcnet1.CodeType=Code_39
Abcnet1.Caption="123456"
The following Information properties are available after calls to the Barcode() method.
Abcnet1.Error an error code which is non zero if an error has occurred in generating the barcode image.
Abcnet1.ImageHeight the height of barcode picture generated (in units determined by the setting of the PageUnit property of the Graphics object passed into the component)
Abcnet1.ImageWidth the width of barcode picture generated (in units determined by the setting of the PageUnit property of the Graphics object passed into the component)
Abcnet1.Pattern a pattern string containing 1s and 0s representing the bars and spaces respectively for the barcode symbol (see Pattern details for clocked code variants).
Abcnet1.Status a string interpretting the error code produced when generating the barcode image.
Abcnet1.String2 the barcode content in text form (including any automatically calculated check digit).
