GdPicture Imaging Forums

Hi all,
I'm using GdPicture.NET 12.

I've read, about Codabar type of barcode, that it can encode the digits 0 through 9, six symbols ( - : . $ / + ), and the start/stop characters A, B, C, D, E.
But if I use method:
'Barcode1DWriteGetMinWidth(Barcode1DWriterType.Barcode1DWriterCodabar, myString)'
with mystring ="A12356.B";
it returns '0'
and
'Barcode1DWrite' return GdPictureStatus.BarcodeNotNumeric = 1005.

Why special charatcters are not allowed?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Elisa

Hi Elisa,

This is a known bug. It was fixed in the early versions of GdPicture.Net 14.
Using version 14, with your string, Barcode1DWriteGetMinWidth returns 82, and the Barcode1DWrite writes the barcode and returns OK.
There is nothing we can do for version 12, since it is discontinued a long time ago, and we provide support only for the current version.
