The Softek Barcode Reader SDK extracts barcode information from images and bitmaps.

Overview

Normally the OCX stops at the first positive match for a barcode. When MultipleRead is TRUE the OCX will check the entire image for barcode strings and record each positive match.

Default value =   FALSE

Visual Basic using the OCX

[form.]SoftekBarcode.MultipleRead = value

Visual Basic using the DLL

Private Declare Function stGetMultipleRead Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Boolean
Private Declare Function stSetMultipleRead Lib "SoftekBarcode" (ByVal newValue As Boolean) As Boolean
stSetMultipleRead (value)
value = stGetMultipleRead ()

Visual Basic using COM

oBar = CreateObject("SoftekATL.Barcode")
.........
oBar.MultipleRead = value
value = oBar.MultipleRead

VB.Net using the DLL

Private Declare Function stGetMultipleRead Lib "SoftekBarcode" () As Boolean
Private Declare Function stSetMultipleRead Lib "SoftekBarcode" (ByVal newValue As Boolean) As Boolean
stSetMultipleRead (value)
value = stGetMultipleRead ()

VB.Net using the SoftekBarcode Wrapper Class

Dim barcode As SoftekBarcode
..........
barcode.SetMultipleRead(value)
value = barcode.GetMultipleRead()

VB.Net using the SoftekBarcodeLib Managed Component

Dim barcode As SoftekBarcodeLib.BarcodeReader
Dim value As Bool
..........
barcode = New SoftekBarcodeLib.BarcodeReader()
..........
barcode.MultipleRead = value
value = barcode.MultipleRead

Visual C++ Using the OCX

BOOL GetMultipleRead() ;
void SetMultipleRead (BOOL value)

Visual C++ Using the DLL

BOOL __stdcall stGetMultipleRead();
BOOL __stdcall stSetMultipleRead(BOOL bNewValue);
