scanner = builder.Initialize("Barcode").BleepEnabled(True).EnableAutoFocus(True).withBackfacingCamera.Text("DonManfred presents").TrackerColor(Colors.Red).build
Word: (


i tried to break the code piece by piece...

builder.Initialize("Barcode")
builder.BleepEnabled(True)
builder.EnableAutoFocus(True)
builder.withBackfacingCamera.Text("Test")
builder.TrackerColor(Colors.Red)

i found out that the error is on this line...

builder.withBackfacingCamera.Text("Test")
builder.TrackerColor(Colors.Red)

i can't find a way on how to solve this error...i really appreciate if someone from the expert here on this community can help me to solve this error...thank you in advance...

Please provide a brief description of your problem in the title.

You need to give more context. For example what type is "builder"? You are leaving us to guess.

Hi There and welcome to this awesome forum.

Now, "hello" is not going to attract much attention, but something like "Barcode Reader Error" will.

Using code tags ( </> - top left of the editor ) just makes things look so much neater and easier to read and most likely get a quicker response.

Example:

builder.Initialize("Barcode")
builder.BleepEnabled(True)
builder.EnableAutoFocus(True)
builder.withBackfacingCamera.Text("Test")
builder.TrackerColor(Colors.Red)

and finally - don't worry - we were all "noobs" at something sometime in our lives and since @DonManfred has something to do with this library - he will most likely answer you shortly !!

The problem is in the incompatibility between version 1 and version 1.5 of the library.

The example was created with version 1. In version 1.5 two properties have been changed to read-only:

Sub Button1_Click
    Log("Button1 Click event fired")
'    scanner = builder.Initialize("Barcode").BleepEnabled(True).EnableAutoFocus(True).withBackfacingCamera.Text("DonManfred presents").TrackerColor(Colors.Red).build
    builder.Initialize("Barcode")
    builder.BleepEnabled(True)
    builder.EnableAutoFocus(True)
    builder.withBackfacingCamera

'    builder.Text("DonManfred presents") ' 1.50 - read only.
    builder.setText("DonManfred presents") ' use this with v. 1.50

'    builder.TrackerColor(Colors.Red) ' 1.50 - read only.
    builder.setTrackerColor(Colors.Red) ' use this with v. 1.50

    scanner = builder.build
    scanner.startScan
End Sub

scanner = builder.Initialize("Barcode").BleepEnabled(True).EnableAutoFocus(True).withBackfacingCamera.Text("DonManfred presents").TrackerColor(Colors.Red).build

Which library exactly you are using?

If it is the Library from 2016 then i need to admit that i do not have the source anymore and i suggest not to use this library anymore.
