Public API changes and backwards compatibility

Code128Emulation type was removed. Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::get_Code128Emulation() property getter was removed. Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::set_Code128Emulation() property setter was removed.

New Barcode type GS1MicroPdf417 was added to Aspose::BarCode::Generation::EncodeTypes New Barcode type GS1MicroPdf417 was added to Aspose::BarCode::Generation::DecodeType.

New properties were added:

Aspose::BarCode::Generation::MacroCharacter Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::get_MacroCharacters() const;
void Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::set_MacroCharacters(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::MacroCharacter value);
Macro Characters 05 and 06 values are used to obtain more compact encoding in special modes. The values of Macro Characters 05 and 06 serve the purpose of facilitating a more compact encoding within specialized operational modes.
bool Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::get_IsLinked() const;
void Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::set_IsLinked(bool value);
Defines linked modes with GS1MicroPdf417, MicroPdf417 and Pdf417 barcodes.
bool Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::get_IsCode128Emulation() const;
void Aspose::BarCode::Generation::Pdf417Parameters::set_IsCode128Emulation(bool value);
Can be used only with MicroPdf417 and encodes Code 128 emulation modes. This functionality is exclusively applicable to MicroPDF417 and is designed to encode Code 128 emulation modes.

New API usage examples

The following examples demonstrate the encoding of UCC/EAN-128 non-linked modes within the context of GS1 MicroPDF417.

//Encodes GS1 UCC/EAN-128 non Linked mode 905 with AI 01 (GTIN)
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator> generator = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator>(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::EncodeTypes::GS1MicroPdf417, u"(01)12345678901231");
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader> reader = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader>(generator->GenerateBarCodeImage(), Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::DecodeType::GS1MicroPdf417);
for (System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeResult> result : reader->ReadBarCodes())
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(result->get_CodeText());
}


//Encodes GS1 UCC/EAN-128 non Linked modes 903, 904 with any AI
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator> generator = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator>(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::EncodeTypes::GS1MicroPdf417, u"(241)123456789012345(241)ABCD123456789012345");
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader> reader = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader>(generator->GenerateBarCodeImage(), Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::DecodeType::GS1MicroPdf417);

for (System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeResult> result : reader->ReadBarCodes())
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(result->get_CodeText());
}

The provided samples illustrate the encoding of Macro Characters in the MicroPDF417 format.

//Encodes MicroPdf417 with 05 Macro the string: "[)>\u001E05\u001Dabcde1234\u001E\u0004"
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator> generator = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator>(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::EncodeTypes::MicroPdf417, u"abcde1234");
generator->get_Parameters()->get_Barcode()->get_Pdf417()->set_MacroCharacters(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::MacroCharacter::Macro05);
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader> reader = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader>(generator->GenerateBarCodeImage(), Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::DecodeType::MicroPdf417);

for (System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeResult> result : reader->ReadBarCodes())
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(result->get_CodeText());
}

//Encodes MicroPdf417 with 06 Macro the string: "[)>\u001E06\u001Dabcde1234\u001E\u0004"
BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.MicroPdf417, "abcde1234");
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator> generator = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::Generation::BarcodeGenerator>(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::EncodeTypes::MicroPdf417, u"abcde1234");
generator->get_Parameters()->get_Barcode()->get_Pdf417()->set_MacroCharacters(Aspose::BarCode::Generation::MacroCharacter::Macro06);
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader> reader = System::MakeObject<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeReader>(generator->GenerateBarCodeImage(), Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::DecodeType::MicroPdf417);

for (System::SharedPtr<Aspose::BarCode::BarCodeRecognition::BarCodeResult> result : reader->ReadBarCodes())
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(result->get_CodeText());
}
