Property Value

Type	Description
DevExpress.WinUI.Controls.Internal.QRCodeCompactionMode	Specifies whether to use to encode the barcode’s data: text or binary.

Remarks

Available values:

Name	Description
Numeric	Numeric data is encoded. Max. 7,089 characters.
AlphaNumeric	A combination of alphabetic and numeric characters is encoded. Max. 4,296 characters.
Byte	Binary data is encoded. Max. 2,953 bytes.

If the data encoded in text mode contains invalid characters for QRCode, switch to byte mode to interpret the data as a sequence of bytes and use this sequence to encode the barcode.

Set the barcode’s CompactionMode property to Byte to enable byte mode.
