Add NOV Barcode control in WPF at runtime

Add NOV Barcode control in WPF at runtime



To get started and host NOV in your WPF application, take a look at: Getting Started with NOV in WPF using only code

The following topic shows how to add a NOV Barcode Widget (control) in WPF at runtime.

1. Reference the NOV Assemblies
Ensure that your application references the following NOV dlls:
Nevron.Nov.Presentation.dll - core NOV portable assembly;
Nevron.Nov.Host.WinBase.dll - base assembly for Windows presentation hosts (WinForm and WPF);
Nevron.Nov.Host.Wpf.dll - presentation host for WPF;
Nevron.Nov.Barcode.dll - assembly for the NBarcodeModule;

These assemblies are located in NOV installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nevron Software\Nevron Open Vision VERSION\Bin\Win

2. When initializing the NOV Application, make sure to create the Barcode module
Open the Program.cs file and use the following code:

using Nevron.Nov;
using Nevron.Nov.Windows;
using Nevron.Nov.Barcode;
using System;
 
namespace WpfApplication1
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            // create the application
            App app = new App();
 
            // Apply license for redistribution here. You can skip this code when evaluating NOV.
            NLicenseManager.Instance.SetLicense(new NLicense("LICENSE KEY"));
 
            NModule[] modules = new NModule[] {
                  // TODO: Create modules here
                  NBarcodeModule.Instance
            };
            // install Nevron Open Vision for WPF
            NNovApplicationInstaller.Install(modules);
            // run the application main window
            app.Run(new MainWindow());
        }
    }
}

3. Create a Linear and Matrix (QR) Barcodes
Open the MainWindow.xaml.cs file and use the following code to create the Barcode:

using Nevron.Nov.Windows;
using Nevron.Nov.Barcode;
using System.Windows;
using System;
using Nevron.Nov.UI;
using Nevron.Nov.Layout;
 
namespace WpfApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
 
            // Set window size
            this.Width = 620;
            this.Height = 300;
 
            // create a stack panel
            NStackPanel stackPanel = new NStackPanel();
            stackPanel.Margins = new Nevron.Nov.Graphics.NMargins(5);
            stackPanel.HorizontalPlacement = ENHorizontalPlacement.Left;
            stackPanel.VerticalPlacement = ENVerticalPlacement.Top;
            stackPanel.HorizontalSpacing = 5;
            stackPanel.VerticalSpacing = 5;
 
            // create linear barcode
            NLinearBarcode barcode = new NLinearBarcode();
            barcode.HorizontalPlacement = ENHorizontalPlacement.Center;
            barcode.VerticalPlacement = ENVerticalPlacement.Center;
            barcode.Text = "Nevron software";
            barcode.PreferredHeight = 100;
            barcode.Symbology = ENLinearBarcodeSymbology.Code128;
            stackPanel.Add(barcode);
 
            // create matrix barcode
            NMatrixBarcode qrCode = new NMatrixBarcode();
            qrCode.Symbology = ENMatrixBarcodeSymbology.QrCode;
            qrCode.Text = "Nevron Software" + Environment.NewLine + "https://www.nevron.com";
            stackPanel.Add(qrCode);
 
            // create NOV host
            NNovWidgetHost<NStackPanel> host = new NNovWidgetHost<NStackPanel>(stackPanel);
            Content = host;
        }
    }
}

Run the application - it should display a simple window with a Linear and Matrix (QR) Barcodes.




Using Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET)
When you create a Visual Basic WPF Application, reference the NOV Assemblies and use the following code in your MainWindow.xaml.vb:

Imports Nevron.Nov.Barcode
Imports Nevron.Nov.UI
Imports Nevron.Nov.Layout
Imports Nevron.Nov.Windows
Imports Nevron.Nov
 
Partial Public Class MainWindow
    Inherits Window
    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        ' clear all controls from the form
 
        ' TODO: Apply license for redistribution here. You can skip this code when evaluating NOV.
        NLicenseManager.Instance.SetLicense(New NLicense("LICENSE KEY"))
 
        ' Install Nevron Open Vision modules
        Dim modules() As NModule = {NBarcodeModule.Instance}
        NNovApplicationInstaller.Install(modules)
 
        ' Set window size
        Me.Width = 620
        Me.Height = 300
 
        ' create a stack panel
        Dim stackPanel As New NStackPanel()
        stackPanel.Margins = New Nevron.Nov.Graphics.NMargins(5)
        stackPanel.HorizontalPlacement = ENHorizontalPlacement.Left
        stackPanel.VerticalPlacement = ENVerticalPlacement.Top
        stackPanel.HorizontalSpacing = 5
        stackPanel.VerticalSpacing = 5
 
        ' create linear barcode
        Dim barcode As New NLinearBarcode()
        barcode.HorizontalPlacement = ENHorizontalPlacement.Center
        barcode.VerticalPlacement = ENVerticalPlacement.Center
        barcode.Text = "Nevron software"
        barcode.PreferredHeight = 100
        barcode.Symbology = ENLinearBarcodeSymbology.Code128
        stackPanel.Add(barcode)
 
        ' create matrix barcode
        Dim qrCode As New NMatrixBarcode()
        qrCode.Symbology = ENMatrixBarcodeSymbology.QrCode
        qrCode.Text = "Nevron Software" + Environment.NewLine + "https://www.nevron.com"
        stackPanel.Add(qrCode)
 
        ' create the host widget
        Content = New NNovWidgetHost(Of NStackPanel)(stackPanel)
    End Sub
End Class
