Hi guys,

I have a Barcodereader control and I would like to do different actions, based on whether it is reading a QR code or a barcode.

I have tried playing around with the 'BarcodeReader.BarcodeType' property, however can't quite figure it out.

I have set the OnScan of my Reader to:

ClearCollect(colScanCode; {scannedtype: First(BarcodeReader2.Barcodes).Type})

and for testing a label with text property set to

If(First(colScanCode).scannedtype = 'BarcodeReader.BarcodeType'.QRCode; "QR"; "Not QR").

I suspect the issue is the equality as I do not quite now what the output of BarcodeReader2.Barcodes).Type and didn't find any good ressources online.

Many thanks in advance.

BR,

Gonzo

Hi @MS_Gonzo

You need somehow the barcode types stored somewhere.
But looking at your case it would look like:

If( First(colScanCode).scannedtype = "QR_CODE", "QR", "Not QR" )

I copied the list of BarcodeTypes for you from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-barcodereader#barcode-availability-by-device and created a collection:

ClearCollect( BarcodeCollection, {BarcodeType: "QR_CODE"}, {BarcodeType: "DATA_MATRIX"}, {BarcodeType: "AZTEC"}, {BarcodeType: "CODABAR"}, {BarcodeType: "CODE_128"}, {BarcodeType: "CODE_39"}, {BarcodeType: "CODE_93"}, {BarcodeType: "EAN", Note: "Supports EAN_8 and EAN_13"}, {BarcodeType: "ITF"}, {BarcodeType: "PDF_417"}, {BarcodeType: "RSS14", Note: "Android and iOS support Stacked and Omnidirectional"}, {BarcodeType: "RSS_EXPANDED", Note: "Android and iOS support Stacked and Omnidirectional"}, {BarcodeType: "UPC", Note: "Supports UPC_A and UPC_E"}, {BarcodeType: "Micro QR Code"}, {BarcodeType: "GS1-DWCode"}, {BarcodeType: "MSI"} )

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
