It works great!!!

Dear All,

I could download that LIB. It seems to be quite promising one.

But any sample to use that LIB would be a great help for me.

Can someone help ?

TIA
Milan.

As sugested you can use Cayetano's bar lib or......

You can use bar code font, you use them as normal fonts, goggle for "barcode fonts" yo will find thosands.

define font oFont Value "3of9"
oPrn:cmsay(row,col, "12345",ofont)

Dear All,

I am trying Cayetano's bar lib. This is my sample program. But I am getting only black patches. What am I doing wrong ?

TIA
Milan

Milan:

Perhaps this code line is missing

#Include "BarCode.ch"

BTW, in \Samples folder there is a good sample using the barcode lib.

Dear Armando,

Including the Barlib.ch file did not help.

Can you point me to the sample prg in the \Samples folder ? I did not find it there. I am using May-2006 build.

TIA
Milan.

Dear Armando,

Now I am quite comfortable with Barcode printing with the help of the sample.

Just curious : Is there any way or shortcut to print banner while using Code128 ?

TIA
Milan.

I'm glad to hear that

I'dont know, I have never used that code bar

Why no just get a barcode font and print it like any other piece of text?
