edited September 2011 in General
I would like to request the 2D barcodes QR code and datamatrix to be
added to the features of RB.

    Hi Geerten,

    Thanks for the feedback, we will consider researching and possibly
    adding these barcode formats to a later version of ReportBuilder.

    Currently it is possible to use a barcode library such as the one
    provided by http://psoft.sk/ to successfully render QR code and
    Datamatrix barcodes in ReportBuilder.

    Hello everyone,

    we have got a problem with the PSOFT Barcode studio component. Maybe
    somebody has an idea how to solve it.

    We are trying to put out an 8 digit string as DataMatrix code with the
    following Param settings:
    Params.DataMatrix.Encoding = dmeText
    Params.DataMatrix.Version = psDM12x12

    However those settings do not work for us, the barcode field is blank.
    If we set the Encoding property to dmeASCII or the Version property to
    psDM14x14 the barcode is put out and printed correctly.



    Best regards

    Hi David,

    I am not very familiar with the PSoft library however it looks like the
    data you have for the 12x12 barcode is too large. I believe there are
    strict restrictions on this with DataMatrix. A 12x12 barcode can only
    hold up to 6 alphanumeric characters. 14x14 can hold up to 10.

    ASCII encoding supports more data than Text, C40, or Binary because only
    128 characters are available.

    Hi Nico,

    Thanks for your help.
    I would like to use the ReportBuilder 15 DataMatrix functionality now
    instead of the PSoft library.

    How can I setup the version/resolution of the DataMatrix barcode in the
    "ppBarCode2DDataMatrix"?

    Hi David,

    All DataMatrix properties can be found in the DataMatrixSettings
    property of the 2DBarcode control. Descriptions of these properties can
    be found in the TppDataMatrixSettings topic in the RB help.
