barcode/template problem

rbuser

Hi

I have the following problem. In the database there can be a lot of
different barcodes. EAN-13,UPC-E.
I have a custom label designer with which the customer can design it's own
labels.
How can I during runtime detect if there is a barcode object on the loaded
template and change it's type property to whatever barcode type it is.

Any help or solution would be appreciated as it is quite urgent.

TIA

If you know the barcode component name then you can use that to reference
it. But since each report may be different, then perform a report object
loop to find the object based on the class name of that object after it has
been loaded. Use the Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event to know that a tempalte
has been loaded. See the tech-tips newsgroup in the tempaltes thread for an
article on 'using template events.' Then loop throught the objects as
described in the 'report object loop' tech-tips newsgroup article in the
code based thread. You can then edit the barcode properties at runtime based
on the type that is in the data field of the data pipeline.
