2D barcodes: QR code and datamatrix

rbuser

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.
