barcode 93

edited July 2003 in General
Is there a way to print a barcode 93 with report builder with a data aware
component ?

Barcode 93 is very smaller than code 128.

Thanks

    Article: Adding new BarCode types
    ----------------------------------------

    ReportBuilder natively supports the following barcode types:

    - Codabar
    - Code 128
    - Code 39
    - EAN-8
    - EAN-13
    - Interleaved 2 of 5
    - PostNet
    - UPC-A
    - UPC-E


    Options for adding new BarCode types:


    Find a VCL or ActiveX BarCode component that supports the desired BarCode
    type. Adapt the component for use in RB in one of the following ways:

    a. Use the third-party BarCode component to export the barcode output to an
    image and then use RB's Image component to print the barcode.

    b. Write a ReportBuilder "wrapper" component that adapts the third-party
    component to work inside the RB Designer. This is the approach used to
    integrate the TeeChart component within RB. A "wrapper" component is a
    descendant of RB's TppCustomComponent that instantiates and uses a
    third-party component to implement the desired rendering. See ppChrt.pas in
    the RBuilder\Source directory for an example.


    We have had customers use both of the above techniques successfully....

    You could try http://www.psoft.sk/ for their barcode library components.

    I done the job, I have a RB component for printing barcode 93 dataaware.
    The source code is send by email on demand.
    No need of font or dll, just Delphi code.

    Very cool Serge. If you would like, feel free to send us a copy
    (components@digital-metaphors.com) of this component and we'll put it on the
    report component library section of our website for others to download.

    We have not received a component at this time in order for us to host a link
    to it from our website. Try emailing Serge directly from his reply address
    on this post.

    Hi John,

    We do have the Barcode 93 component. I'll have it added to the website
    today. Thanks for your patience.

    Until the webpage is updated for a visual link and description, you can
    download it here:
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com/rcl/DBBarCod93.zip

    It doesn't support lowercase characters, only uppercase characters.
