hi , i have rb 7.02 ent and i need to print some EAN 128 barcode, but i don't have it in the list. code 128 is similar but i'm not sure i can use it :-(
ReportBuilder's support for the Code 128 barcode symbology can be used to print UCC\EAN 128 barcodes. Code 128 is general purpose symbology that can be used to generate UCC/EAN 128 barcodes.
1. Here is a link that came up when I searched in Google. It is for another barcode product, but it explains the symbology.
2. The TppBarCode component contains an AutoEncode property that defaults to True. To support UCC/EAN 128 you will need set AutoEncode to False and manually encode the data. See the AutoEncode topic in the RBuilder.hlp. From there you can access a related topic on manually encoding Code 128 data.
