# CDecodedBarcodeElement Class

The `CDecodedBarcodeElement` class represents a decoded barcode element. It inherits from the `CRegionObjectElement` class and provides additional functionality for retrieving information about the decoded barcode.

## Definition

*Namespace:* dynamsoft::dbr

*Assembly:* DynamsoftBarcodeReader

*Inheritance:* [CRegionObjectElement]({{ site.dcvb_cpp_api }}core/intermediate-results/region-object-element.html) -> CDecodedBarcodeElement

```cpp
class CDecodedBarcodeElement : public CRegionObjectElement
```
