Reset of Barcode Scan Mode: General Information

You need to define how each barcode scan mode is cleared.

Learning Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn how to implement the resetting logic of the barcode scan mode.

Applicable Scenarios

You need to define the resetting logic for each barcode scan mode that you implement.

Resetting of the Scan Mode

The scan mode is reset as follows:

• A soft reset is executed once the scanning cycle is completed—that is, when a confirmation state reflects success. The system executes the ScanMode.Reset(fullReset: false) method for the soft reset.
• A hard reset is executed in the following cases:
  • If the scan mode is changed to another one.
  • If a confirmation state reports failure and requests a reset.
  • If a user executes the reset command either by clicking the Reset button of the form toolbar or by scanning the *RESET barcode. However, in this case, the Basis.IsWithinReset flag is set. This flag can be used in the mode's resetting logic to determine whether a particular state should be cleared or not.

  The system executes the ScanMode.Reset(fullReset: true) method for the hard reset.

• The whole form is reset once a user clicks the Cancel button on the form toolbar. This is the default behavior of an MYOB Acumatica form. In this case, all screen caches are cleaned, which causes form reinitialization.

The ScanMode.Reset() method can be called from any other scan component either in soft mode or in hard mode.
