ERRCODE _stdcall BCSetOptionsA	(	t_BarCode *	pBarCode,
		LPCSTR	szOption
	)

Sets the barcode option string.

The option string consists of at least one name/value pair followed by zero or more name/value pairs separated by space characters.
The format is: name=value{ name=value}.

A name must be a valid predefined option name. Values can be given in the following ways:

• As Simple Values.
  Simple values are passed as they are. Spaces must be escaped by a preceding "\\". Valid values for boolean options are true and false.
  e.g.: NAME_BOOL=true NAME_NUMBER=123 NAME_TEXT=ABC NAME_WITHSPACE=ABC\ abc
• As Text Values.
  Text values are surrounded by single quotes. They may contain spaces which don't have to be escaped. Single quotes that occur in the text have to be escaped by a preceding "\\".
  e.g.: NAME_TEXT='ABC' NAME_WITHSPACE='ABC abc' NAME_WITHQUOTE='Robin\'s Nest'
• As Complex Values.
  Complex values are surrounded by curly braces "{...}". Complex value may consist of other simple, text, or complex values.
  e.g.: NAME_COMPLEX={NAME_TEXT='ABC' NAME_NUMBER=123}
