Description:

The property specifies which Aztec Code symbol formats and sizes will be automatically selected between minimum and maximum symbol sizes specified by corresponding MinSize and MaxSize properties, depending on the length of barcode text.

The property can be one of these values (defined in the pAztecCode unit):

• smNormal: Only the symbol sizes that they are useful for data encoding operation, including all compact symbol sizes (azSize_15Compact, azSize_19Compact, azSize_23Compact, and azSize_27Compact), and full range symbol sizes from azSize_31 to azSize_151.
• smCompact: Only the symbol sizes in compact format, including the azSize_15Compact, azSize_19Compact, azSize_23Compact, and azSize_27Compact.
• smFullRange: Only the symbol sizes in full range format, including the azSize_19, azSize_23, azSize_27, and azSize_31 to azSize_151.
• smProgram: Only the symbol sizes that they are useful for reader initialization, including azSize_15Compact, azSize_19, azSize_23, azSize_27, and full range symbol sizes from azSize_31 to azSize_109. Note, in order to create a reader initialization symbol, a "\p" escape sequence shoule be placed into the barcode text, and the AllowEscape property should be set to true.
• smAll: All symbol sizes, including compact and full range formats.
