Using OCX to print barcodes in Navision (report)

mcaverly

Could we use any OCXs to print barcode(s) in Navision (report)?

TIA

check the download section.
Also you can use a font to print 3of9 or code128 barcode.
Also for this there are examples in the forum.viewtopic.php?f=23&t=26270

Or you create a bitmap viewtopic.php?t=1789&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

==========================================
We have to use UCC EAN 128 compliance font.

Do you have any suggestion? Does Microsoft/NAV offer any downloaded font(s)?

TIA

using the generaor would be something like this

Using the Item Table as an example we are going to create a EAN128 barcode of the DESCRIPTION.

OnAfterGetRecord()
IF Item.Description <> '' THEN BEGIN
CreateBarcode:= SHELL(STRSUBSTNO('%1%2%3%4%5%6',
    'c:\Navibar.exe',                       // Program
    ' ' + Item.Description+'{',             // code to generate
    '15'+'{',                               // barcodetype
    '500'+'{',                              // width in pixel
    '50'+'{',                               // high in pixel
    'c:\temp\createdbarcode.bmp'));         // destination for the .bmp-file
Picture.IMPORT('c:\temp\createdbarcode.bmp');
END;

You need to create a c:\temp directory
You need to download Navibar.exe and put it c: (for this example)
CreateBarcode is a variable type Integer

In the report view->sections & add a picturebox with sourceexp = Picture

that's it.

the other Barcode types are: (i'm using 15 for this example)

00-ISBN
01-EAN 13
02-EAN 8
03-EAN 5
04-EAN 2
05-UPC A
06-Code 39
07-Code 25 interleaved
08-CodeBar
09-Code 25
10-Code 39 Extended
11-Code 128 A
12-Code 128 B
13-Code 128 C
14-Code 128
15-EAN 128
16-EAN 99
17-UPC E
18-PostNet
19-Royal Mail
20-MSI
21-Code 93
22-Code 93 Extended
23-PZN
99-None

The download does mention an OCX - but i didn't use that
