BarCodeLabelControl is a control to drop on a report detail that configures dynamic sized labels with barcode for things such as labeling inventory items. You can control label size and fonts from the included Labels file. This label control uses a barcode font, and a free 3of9.ttf is included for testing.
Create a report with just a detail band, and drop in the barcode Label control. If you are using the included Labels file, add it as other files first, and it will auto fill the template prompts for the label sizes and fonts. A C55 txd file is included with the file definition, as well as the tps file. A C55 TXA (abc) file is also included with the Label browse and update form that you can import into your procedure. This same label file will work for both the barcode labels, and mailing labels included in this template set. See your directories under 3rdParty/Examples/Comsoft7/BoTpl for the included files and *.tx?'s
Size the detail accordingly, and it will be dynamically resized as needed from the Labels file.
Set your filters, ranges, etc to limit the printing of the labels. Then fill in the Template prompts.
Select the name of the Detail band from the drop down list, and the name of your Label size lookup procedure from the procedure dropdown list. This will autodefault to BrowseLabels if you have included the procedures in the txa file. Then click on the button For the BC Label Data Setup.
The required part number is put in the top left hand field on the label in man readable's, and is also used for the barcode font field. Check the Date box if you want a date included on the label run, and select a format for the date. It will appear on the label to the right of the Part Number on the top line. The next 2 lines can be used for description and extended description of the part, or whatever additional info you want to include. The last checkbox and prompt is for adding a suffix and prefix to the Barcode font, in this case a '*' is used so barcode readers correctly read the barcode font.
OK this button, and then go to the BC Label Sizes Button of Prompts.
They will be auto filled if you have used the Labels file included with the template.
Otherwise fill in the prompts with the data fields from your label size file.
Observe the results.
