Example:

Let’s build and execute the QRCodeScannerDef example.  

  • Create a new form definition called “QRCodeScannerDef.”
  • Select the Open Designer checkbox and click the “Create” button
  • Drag a Table, Label, QRCodeScanner, Textbox, and Submit button to the canvas. Arrange the controls inside the table grid as follows. 

 

  • Select the QRCodeScanner control. Press and drag the bottom end wedge to occupy a larger area. Double-click inside this area to configure the inputs as shown in the below graphic. Provide the name of the control. Provide the label text for the button. Provide a text field reference to store the scanned text during run time. 

 

  • Save the change. Navigate to Run - Form Instances - Create and edit a form instance for the above definition.
  • The form is rendered in a new tab as follows. Click on the “Scan QR Code” button.

 

  • Click on the button “Request Camera Permissions”

 

  • A popup alert requests permission to use the device camera. Click on “Allow” to grant permission. 

 

  • The form is now rendered for the user's input with the device camera working (ignore the image used here for representation only). Hand-hold the product QR code in front of the camera to capture. 

 

  • The captured QR code is pasted in the text field.
