Maxicode in a datawindow

[Former Member]

Has anyone had experience generating a maxicode in the datawindow.  I have a few ideas, but want to know if someone has done it before.  Any help will be appreciated.

This company has a font that can be used to display maxicode.

Roland,

Looks like a great solution.  Do you have any sample code where you used the maxicode.

I have never used it. I just googled 'maxicode font'.

I do have an example of the USPS Bar Code:

Topwiz Software - USPS Barcode

Here is the solution

string ls_barcode, in, ls_barcode_out, ls_gs, ls_rs, ls_eot

integer li_return

oleobject  lole_maxicode

lole_maxicode = create oleobject

li_return = lole_maxicode.connectToNewObject("IDAutomation.Maxicode")

ls_gs = char(29)

ls_rs = char(30)

ls_eot = char(4)

ls_barcode_in = "[)>" + ls_rs + "01" + ls_gs + "96336091062" + ls_gs + "840" + ls_gs + "002" + ls_gs + & "1Z14647438" + ls_gs + "UPSN" + ls_gs + "410E1W" + ls_gs + "195" + ls_gs + ls_gs + "1/1" + ls_gs + ls_gs + & "Y" + ls_gs + "135Lightner" + ls_gs + "TAMPA" + ls_gs + "FL" + ls_rs + ls_eotp>

lole_maxicode.fontEncode(ls_barcode_in, 2, ref(ls_barcode_out)

We used the IDAutomation Maxicode (in a dw) for all of our UPS labels. It's been years now. No problems. Thousands of labels printed.

Hi Stephen;

  FYI: Maxicode and QRCode is supported in PB when using Appeon Mobile.
