What this demonstrates

Barcodes are editable document objects

TX Text Control embeds barcode objects directly in Word-compatible documents. Their encoded value, symbology, appearance, name, and placement remain available to editing and reporting APIs.

Barcode collection

TXTextControl.barcodes

Insertion

BarcodeCollection.addInline

Layout object

BarcodeFrame

Barcode data

BarcodeFrame.barcode

How it works

BarcodeCollection.addInline creates a barcode from a BarcodeType and an encoded string. Passing -1 as the text position inserts the object at the current caret position.

The callback receives a BarcodeFrame. Members inherited from FrameBase, such as getName, getSize, and getTextPosition, describe how the object participates in the document. The frame's barcode property exposes the associated Barcode object, where getText, setText, getBarcodeType, and setShowText control the rendered code.

The barcodeSelected and barcodeDeselected events synchronize the inspector with the editor. BarcodeCollection.forEach builds the collection overview from the active text part without hard-coded entries.

Insert an inline barcode

TXTextControl.barcodes.addInline(
    barcodeFrame => barcodeFrame.setName(
        "Invoice QR",
        () => console.log("Barcode named"),
        showBarcodeError),
    showBarcodeError,
    TXTextControl.BarcodeType.QRCode,
    "INV-1048",
    -1);
