Description
Returns or sets the value that determines the current work mode.
Syntax
HRESULT get_AutoLabelSize(HANDLE handle, VARIANT_BOOL* pVal); HRESULT put_AutoLabelSize(HANDLE handle, VARIANT_BOOL val);
Remarks
Use this property to set/return the current work
mode. When AutoLabelSize property is
TRUE, the current work
mode is barcode design mode; otherwise the label design mode is
assumed. Under the barcode design mode, the size of the
working area is not fixed. It grows or shrinks as the sizes of other
components, such as margins, barcode and the comment
change. Under barcode design mode, properties
LabelWidth and LabelHeight
are read-only and can not be
altered.
On the contrary, under the label design mode, the size of the working area is fixed and can not be modified. Under the label design mode, anything beyond the working area is clipped.
If you intend to create a barcode as small as
possible, choose the barcode design mode by setting this
property to TRUE. If you'd like to print a full label with
all components turned on, select the label design
mode.
Note
When you switch AutoLabelSize from TRUE to
FALSE, the predefined label size -
2 by 2 inches is assumed.
