BotDetect ASP Classic CAPTCHA COM API Reference (BotDetect v3.0; deprecated)

Core Captcha functionality (drawing Captcha images and generating Captcha sounds) in the BotDetect ASP Captcha component is implemented as a COM component with the BotDetect.Captcha.3 ProgId. The BotDetect Classic ASP Captcha library uses the COM Captcha interface internally, and you don't have to worry about it unless you are implementing a different client for the COM component.

BotDetect.COM.ICaptchaComponent interface
BotDetect.COM.ComCaptcha class

BotDetect.COM.ICaptchaComponent

The COM interface declaration used by the Captcha COM component.

BotDetect.COM.ICaptchaComponent Interface Reference
	string GenerateCode string locale int codeLength int codeStyle string customCharset string bannedSequences	Generate a random Captcha code with the given parameter values. `locale` is the locale string `codeLength` is the number of characters in the Captcha code `codeStyle` is the numeric representation of the Captcha code style, i.e. the algorithm used to generate Captcha codes from default pre-defined locale character sets `customCharset` is the user-defined character set used for Captcha code generation; should be a comma-separated list of characters to use for all Captcha codes (both alpha and numeric, setting a custom charset ignores the code style setting) `bannedSequences` is the optional list of comma-separated character sequences which will be filtered out of the randomly generated Captcha codes, used for example for swear-word filtering
	string GenerateImage string code string locale int imageStyle int imageWidth int imageHeight int imageFormat string customLightColor string customDarkColor	Generate a random Captcha image with the given parameter values. `code` is the Captcha code `locale` is the locale string `imageStyle` is the numeric representation of the Captcha image style, i.e. the algorithm used to render Captcha codes in images `imageWidth` is the width of the generated Captcha image, in pixels `imageHeight` is the height of the generated Captcha image, in pixels `imageFormat` is the numeric representation of the image format in which the Captcha image will be generated `customLightColor` is the optional custom dark color point, which modifies the color palette used for Captcha image drawing. Should be a Html color, i.e. specified either by name (`"Red"`) or hex value (`"#f00"` or `"#ff0000"`) `customDarkColor` is the optional custom light color point, which modifies the color palette used for Captcha image drawing. Should be a Html color, i.e. specified either by name (`"Red"`) or hex value (`"#f00"` or `"#ff0000"`)
	string GenerateSound string code string locale int soundStyle int soundFormat string soundPackageFolder	Generate a random Captcha sound with the given parameter values. `code` is the Captcha code `locale` is the locale string `soundStyle` is the numeric representation of the Captcha sound style, i.e. the algorithm used to pronounce Captcha codes in sounds `soundFormat` is the numeric representation of the audio format in which the Captcha sound file will be generated `soundPackageFolder` is the file-system location of the folder containing BotDetect pronunciation sound packages; the client application using the COM component should have read access privileges for this location
	bool IsSoundAvailable string locale string soundPackageFolder	Check is the pronunciation sound package required for the given locale available in the sound packages folder. `locale` is the locale string `soundPackageFolder` is the file-system location of the folder containing BotDetect pronunciation sound packages; the client application using the COM component should have read access privileges for this location
	string DefaultCaptchaHelpPage string locale	Get the default Captcha help page Url for the given locale. `locale` is the locale string
	string DefaultCaptchaImageTooltip string locale	Get the default Captcha image tooltip for the given locale. `locale` is the locale string
	bool IsFree	License helper, telling whether the Captcha COM component instance is created by the free BotDetect version. Used to check whether to display the code sample Free version information or not.
	string ControlInfo	Debugging helper, returning the assembly version of the Captcha COM component
