Configure Barcode Settings (ITF14Options)

Use the ITF14Options class to configure ITF-14 barcode settings.

The following code snippet creates the ITF-14 barcode and customizes its options:

C#

using DevExpress.Docs.Barcode;
using DevExpress.Drawing;
using System.Drawing;

var itf14Options = new ITF14Options();
itf14Options.CalculateChecksum = true;
itf14Options.WideNarrowRatio = 3;
itf14Options.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
itf14Options.ShowText = false;
itf14Options.Padding = new Padding(5);
itf14Options.BorderWidth = 1;
itf14Options.BorderColor = Color.Blue;

using var itf14OptionsStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(outDir, "barcode_symbology_itf14.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
using var itf14OptionsGenerator = new BarcodeGenerator(itf14Options);
itf14OptionsGenerator.Export("0123456709498765432101234567891", itf14OptionsStream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Docs.Barcode
Imports DevExpress.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO

Dim itf14Options As New ITF14Options()
itf14Options.CalculateChecksum = True
itf14Options.WideNarrowRatio = 3
itf14Options.BackColor = Color.LightGray
itf14Options.ShowText = False
itf14Options.Padding = New Padding(5)
itf14Options.BorderWidth = 1
itf14Options.BorderColor = Color.Blue

Using itf14OptionsStream As New FileStream(Path.Combine(outDir, "barcode_symbology_itf14.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
    Using itf14OptionsGenerator As New BarcodeGenerator(itf14Options)
        itf14OptionsGenerator.Export("0123456709498765432101234567891", itf14OptionsStream, DXImageFormat.Png)
    End Using
End Using

Configure Barcode Settings (Fluent API)

Use the ITF14OptionsBuilder class to configure ITF-14 barcode settings with Fluent API.

The following code snippet creates the ITF-14 barcode and customizes its options:

C#

using DevExpress.Docs.Barcode;
using DevExpress.Drawing;
using System.Drawing;

var tF14Options = ITF14OptionsBuilder.Create()
    .WithCalculateChecksum(true)
    .WithWideNarrowRatio(3)
    .WithBackColor(Color.LightGray)
    .WithShowText(false)
    .WithPadding(5)
    .WithBorderWidth(1)
    .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue)
    .Build();

var filePath = Path.GetFullPath("itf14_barcode.png");

using var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
using var generator = new BarcodeGenerator(tF14Options);
generator.Export("0123456709498765432101234567891", stream, DXImageFormat.Png);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Docs.Barcode
Imports DevExpress.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim tF14Options = ITF14OptionsBuilder.Create() _
            .WithCalculateChecksum(True) _
            .WithWideNarrowRatio(3) _
            .WithBackColor(Color.LightGray) _
            .WithShowText(False) _
            .WithPadding(5) _
            .WithBorderWidth(1) _
            .WithBorderColor(Color.Blue) _
            .Build()

        Dim filePath As String = Path.GetFullPath("itf14_barcode.png")

        Using stream As New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)
            Using generator As New BarcodeGenerator(tF14Options)
                generator.Export("0123456709498765432101234567891", stream, DXImageFormat.Png)
            End Using
        End Using
    End Sub
