Package
TXTextControl.TextControl.WPF.SDK as TXTextControl.dll from the private NuGet feed or Text Control Offline Packages

Description

Inserts a new barcode in a Text Control document.

Syntax

Add(BarcodeFrame, int)

Inserts a barcode inline, which means that it is treated in the text like a single character.

public bool Add(BarcodeFrame barcodeFrame, int textPosition);
ParameterDescription
barcodeFrame

Specifies the barcode and its frame to add.

textPosition

Specifies the text position at which the barcode is to be inserted. If -1 is specified, the barcode is inserted at the current input position.

Add(BarcodeFrame, HorizontalAlignment, int, FrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a barcode, which is anchored to the specified text position. It has the specified horizontal alignment relative to the paragraph into which it is inserted and the textflow is given through the insertionMode parameter. An anchored barcode is moved with the text.

public bool Add(BarcodeFrame barcodeFrame, HorizontalAlignment alignment, int textPosition, FrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
barcodeFrame

Specifies the barcode and its frame to add.

alignment

Specifies the barcode's horizontal alignment. It can be one of the HorizontalAlignment values:

ValueMeaning
LeftThe barcode is left aligned, relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.
RightThe barcode is right aligned, relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.
CenteredThe barcode is centered, relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.
JustifyThis value is not supported for barcodes.
textPosition

Specifies the text position at which the barcode is to be inserted. If -1 is specified, the barcode is inserted at the current input position.

insertionMode

Specifies how the text flow is handled. It can be one of the following values of the FrameInsertionMode enumeration:

ValueMeaning
AboveTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location above the text. This means that the barcode overwrites the text.
BelowTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location below the text. This means that the text overwrites the barcode.
DisplaceCompleteLinesThe text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the barcode.
DisplaceTextThe text flows around the barcode and empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
Other VauesAll other values cannot be used with the BarcodeCollection.Add method.

Add(BarcodeFrame, Point, int, FrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a barcode, which is anchored to the specified text position. The specified location is relative to the paragraph into which it is inserted and the textflow is given through the insertionMode parameter. An anchored barcode is moved with the text.

public bool Add(BarcodeFrame barcodeFrame, Point location, int textPosition, FrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
barcodeFrame

Specifies the barcode and its frame to add.

location

Specifies the location, in twips, at which the barcode is to be inserted.

textPosition

Specifies the text position at which the barcode is to be inserted. If -1 is specified, the barcode is inserted at the current input position.

insertionMode

Specifies how the text flow is handled. It can be one of the following values of the FrameInsertionMode enumeration:

ValueMeaning
AboveTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location above the text. This means that the barcode overwrites the text.
BelowTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location below the text. This means that the text overwrites the barcode.
DisplaceCompleteLinesThe text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the barcode.
DisplaceTextThe text flows around the barcode and empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
Other VauesAll other values cannot be used with the BarcodeCollection.Add method.

Add(BarcodeFrame, int, Point, FrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a barcode, which has a fixed geometrical position in the document. This position is specified through a page number and a location on this page and the textflow is given through the insertionMode parameter.

public bool Add(BarcodeFrame barcodeFrame, int pageNumber, Point location, FrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
barcodeFrame

Specifies the barcode and its frame to add.

pageNumber

Specifies the number of a page beginning with 1 where the barcode is located.

location

Specifies the location, in twips, at which the barcode is to be inserted.

insertionMode

Specifies how the text flow is handled. It can be one of the following values of the FrameInsertionMode enumeration:

ValueMeaning
AboveTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location above the text. This means that the barcode overwrites the text.
BelowTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location below the text. This means that the text overwrites the barcode.
DisplaceCompleteLinesThe text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the barcode.
DisplaceTextThe text flows around the barcode and empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
Other VauesAll other values cannot be used with the BarcodeCollection.Add method.

Add(BarcodeFrame, Point, FrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a barcode, which has a fixed geometrical position in the document. This position is specified relative to the complete document and the textflow is given through the insertionMode parameter.

public bool Add(BarcodeFrame barcodeFrame, Point location, FrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
barcodeFrame

Specifies the barcode and its frame to add.

location

Specifies the location, in twips, at which the barcode is to be inserted.

insertionMode

Specifies how the text flow is handled. It can be one of the following values of the FrameInsertionMode enumeration:

ValueMeaning
AboveTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location above the text. This means that the barcode overwrites the text.
BelowTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location below the text. This means that the text overwrites the barcode.
DisplaceCompleteLinesThe text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the barcode.
DisplaceTextThe text flows around the barcode and empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
Other VauesAll other values cannot be used with the BarcodeCollection.Add method.

Add(BarcodeFrame, FrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a barcode with the built-in mouse interface. The barcode's size is determined through the end-user. A cross cursor indicates where the barcode can be inserted. Changing the document or pressing the ESC key aborts the insertion process.

public bool Add(BarcodeFrame barcodeFrame, FrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
barcodeFrame

Specifies the barcode and its frame to add.

insertionMode

Specifies how the text flow is handled. It can be one of the following values of the FrameInsertionMode enumeration:

ValueMeaning
AboveTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location above the text. This means that the barcode overwrites the text.
BelowTheTextThe barcode is inserted at a certain geometrical location below the text. This means that the text overwrites the barcode.
DisplaceCompleteLinesThe text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the barcode.
DisplaceTextThe text flows around the barcode and empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
Other VauesAll other values cannot be used with the BarcodeCollection.Add method.

Return Value

The return value is true, if the barcode could be added. Otherwise, it is false.

Examples

The following example adds an item to the barcode collection.

if (!barcodeCollection.Add(new TXTextControl.DataVisualization.BarcodeFrame("Approved"), -1))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException("The item could not be inserted.");
}
