Hiding Human Readable Text – Conceptual Overview

Introduction

The XamCode128Barcode exposes the Boolean ShowText property. When this property is set to true , its default value, the human readable text or data of the bar code, as it is sometimes called, is visible under the barcode. This property must be set to false to stop the human readable text from being rendered on the screen.
