    error.handled = true;
}

function addAnchored(barcodeType) {
    TXTextControl.barcodes.addAnchored(
        function(barcodeFrame) {
            if (!barcodeFrame) {
                console.warn("No barcode frame was returned.");
                return;
            }
            
            console.log("add anchored result:", barcodeFrame);
