The Barcode point provides a way to scan a barcode or product code using the mobile device's camera and record the value of the barcode.
The properties page for the barcode point provides an option to customise the display size of the barcode point. See below for details on each of this point's properties.
The size of the point can be adjusted to either a set character size or to use the full width of the screen.
