Use this object to print bar codes on your report for numeric data.  All data fields will use the TppDBText object.

 

Description

 

A bar code is a series of lines and spaces which represent data. A special set of rules is used to convert data into the lines and spaces of a barcode. This set of rules is called a symbology. There are many different symbologies, some for general purpose use and some for very specific applications. With TppBarCode, you can create valid bar codes for the most popular symbologies. They are:

 

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

 

When creating a barcode use the BarCodeType property to specify the symbology which should be used to encode the data. Use the DataField properties to specify the database field which contains the data to be encoded.
