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....
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. -- Serge Chelli www.aceinformatique.com www.cactusvision.com www.securisave.com www.e-fastmag.com www.ipscript.com
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.

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