2D Barcode Printing using Powerbuilder

There is a good chance the demo version will always print that way. Contact the vendor to verify that the bought version will not do this.

I read from the internet that in order to use the 2D Barcode (QRCODE or DATAMATRIX) ActiveX, the software ur using should be an activex-compliant environment. I'm using Powerbuilder 8 and this version is not an activex-compliant, I'm not sure w/ the higher version I haven't try.

But anyway, what I did is I used the MS Access to create the report format for 2D barcode printing. I used the macro to open & print the report, then automatically closed the MS Access application. In the powerbuilder program, I run the macro for printing and solved my problem.

Hey, guys, share a good barcode solution site with you all. It's called onbarcode. I found it through Google. I used their Java Class barcode generator library. Not bad. I believe you can find your barcode solution there.

i think you can google 2D barcode generator and you will find many useful tools, or google how to create 2D barcode to get instructive articles. i have years of experience in generating barcode , iam using this 2D barcode generator which can create 2D barcode in c# and other formats , you can have a try.

I have only tested the free trial package of another barcode SDK. It worked well for me. You can also google it and have a try. Good luck.

Best regarsd,

It seems that this barcode printing topic has been hijacked biggrin
