Code
Users may easily change Code 128 barcode data string with variable length using Code property.
ProcessTilde
Users may simply encode some special characters in Code 128 barcode with a tilde characters "~" using
ProcessTilde property.
- - 1-byte character: ~0dd/~1dd/~2dd (character value from 000 ~ 255); ASCII character '~' is presented by ~126; Strings from "~256" to "~299" are unused.
- - 2-byte character (Unicode): ~6ddddd (character value from 00000 ~ 65535); Strings from "~665536" to "~699999" are unused.
Human-readable Text
Users may simply customize human-readable text and enable it under generated Code 128 barcode using DisplayText and Textfont properties.
