12.44. ShowHRText Property

Description

Returns or sets a value that determines whether the control displays the human readable portion.

Syntax

object.ShowHRText[= Boolean] 

Remarks

Toggle this property to turn on or turn off the display of the human readable text.

Two dimensional barcodes do not have the concept of “human readable”. Consequently this property has no effect on 2D barcodes.

Per standard, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8 barcodes and their supplements should always have the human readable as an integrated part of the image. In versions prior to 3.2, you can not produce those barcodes without visible human readable, even you set ShowHRText to FALSE. This has changed since version 3.2. Unless you have absolute reason to turn it off, you should set ShowHRText to TRUE when creating these types of barcodes.
