CommandLineEncoder options or using the dll directly in VBA about zxing.net HOT 6 CLOSED

The .Net Assemblies at all doesn't export any functions which can be called with LoadLibrary/GetProcAdress or as externally declared function. As far as I know the freeimage.dll isn't a .Net asssembly.
Perhaps you will find some other solutions to call a .Net Assembly from VBA if you look at stackoverflow.com. Here is one example

I only know the COM Interop way but the registration of the assembly is required.

On the other hand there are no plans to extend the options of the CommandLineEncoder. Feel free to provide a pull request which adds the functionality.

Thank you for the link! After a few hours with visualstudio (never ever used it before and never used the c# or whatever this language is) I came out with this, which when changed in commandlineencoder sample works as expected :

var x = ZXing.QrCode.Internal.ErrorCorrectionLevel.H;

var barcodeWriter = new BarcodeWriter
                                {
                                   Format = barcodeFormat,
                                  Options = new ZXing.QrCode.QrCodeEncodingOptions
                                                {
                                       CharacterSet = "ISO-8859-1",
                                       Width = 600,
                                        Height = 600,
                                        ErrorCorrection = x,
                                        QrVersion = 15                                                }
                                };

Now what I need to do is set:

• ECI value to 000004. Does setting the charset change the ECI by itself?
• Byte data (Mode Byte) - this one is killing me :(

from zxing.net.

ECI is only set if the selected character set differs from the default. The default is "ISO-8859-1". That means, no ECI is needed.
Byte Mode is selected automatically. You can't set it via options. It depends on the content. If you only encode numbers then numeric mode is selected. If you encode alphanumeric characters (table 5 of JISX0510:2004 (p.19)) then alphanumeric mode is used. Otherwise byte mode.

from zxing.net.

Thank you for explaining, so if I set it to ISO-8859-2 then ECI will be set to 000004 and I am good to go. Great.

One more question, do you perhaps know if there is some utility to display all this data from the QR code, i mean, ECI, Version, mask, encoding type, length etc...

from zxing.net.

Yes, ECI 4 is added. And no, sorry, don't any tool which fits your needs.
