Just a quick easy question, I hope. I was wondering if Report Builder supports 12 digit barcodes. I beleive it is called Delivery Point. We are using Delphi 5 and ReportBuilder: standard 6.03.
1. 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....
