Insert BarCode inside FlowDocumentEditor

[Richard]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a barcode inside a FlowDocumentEditor.

 

public static ImageInline InsertQRCode(this RadFlowDocumentEditor editor, string code, double width = 96)
{

    // Barcode
    const double imgWidth = 1000;
    var barcode = new RadBarcode
    {
        Width = imgWidth,
        Height = imgWidth,
        Symbology = new QRCode()
        {
            ErrorCorrectionLevel = ErrorCorrectionLevel.H,
            CodeMode = CodeMode.Alphanumeric
        },
        Value = code
    };
    
    barcode.BeginInit();
    barcode.Measure(new Size(imgWidth, imgWidth));
    barcode.Arrange(new Rect(new Size(imgWidth, imgWidth)));
    barcode.UpdateLayout();
    barcode.EndInit();

    using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        Telerik.Windows.Media.Imaging.ExportExtensions.ExportToImage(barcode, stream, new PngBitmapEncoder());
        stream.Position = 0;

        return editor.InsertImageInline(new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Media.ImageSource(stream, "png"),
            new Size(96, 96));

    }

At barcode.Measure, I've got an NullException. This didn't happen with old RadBarCodeQR component.

Any ideas?

Hello Richard,

With the new barcode, you will need to take the extra step to assign its Style manually before measuring the control.

var resourceDictionary = new ResourceDictionary()  
{  
	Source = new Uri("/Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization;component/Themes/GenericVisualStudio2019.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)  
}; 
barcode.Style = (Style)resourceDictionary["BarcodeStyle"]; 

This approach is described in the following KB article.

Thank you. Works nice.

For those who use themed controls, I changed it to this (I use Fluent design):

var resourceDictionary = new ResourceDictionary()
{
    Source = new Uri("/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Fluent;component/Themes/telerik.windows.controls.datavisualization.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
};

barcode.Style =  resourceDictionary["BarcodeStyle"] as System.Windows.Style;
