Waar kan ik de barlib32 vinden?

Dag Marc
Ik heb ondertussen de barlib32 library ontvangen met een paar voorbeeld prgs
Wanneer ik evenwel een example prg wil compilen en linken conform uw info krijg ik steeds een linking error die zegt dat "de syntaxis van de bestandsnaam, mapnaam of volumenaam onjuist is".
Wat betekent dat?
José

Jose,


echo $(FWDIR)\lib\BARLIB32.lib + >> b32.bc

FWDIR=c:\fwharb

Heb je de eerste regel gewoon gekopieerd ? Je zou eventueel wel het path (FWDIR) moeten aanpassen in je .mak file (file om te linken)
zodat hij verwijst naar de juiste directory. Daar moeten ook je files komen te staan dan.


Did you just copy this line ? or did you also changed the location of the files. You must change the file path if nessesary.

Marc

Otto,

It is easier to explain the process than provide the code since my code is very application specific:

1). Create a multi=dimensional array
2). Create a loop -
a) Scan the item
b) Look up the item in your database
c).Add the array element with a logical field ( default to .t. ), the UPC number, the part number, the quantity, and the description.
d).Loop and continue to scan in parts.
3). Provide a browse of the array. Allow the user to uncheck the first field for any parts they decide not to add, and to change the quantity if desired.
4). Provide a "Process button" and when pressed, it will add the parts desired to the invoice. It can go back and get the additional data it may need, and adjust the inventory at this time.

I use a live inventory, so whenever a part is used it reflects immediately in the stock on hand and sales report. Using this process does prevent any errors from occuring, although it is easy to fix them should they happen. ( Modifying the quantity or deleting an item in my program automatically adjusts the inventory properly.)

Of course, you can also provide safety by being sure Enter simply moves to the next field and does not trigger an exit button, or simply set the barcode reader to not automatically add the Enter after the string. So far, none of my clients have experienced difficulty with my method.

Tim
thank you for your answer.
I explained myself bad. I mean if someone accidentally uses the scanner in a dialog which is not for scanning. Then the “ENTER”- suffix is handled like you press the enter key. This is a problem with a keyboard wedge.
I thought maybe you have a solution to disable the scanner.
We have this problem with clerk key system which is operating the same way.
Best regards
Otto

This is not a direct answer to the main post.
But this built-in function of FWH can be used to print some barcodes, without the need for an external lib. This may be enough in some cases.

Code: Select all  Expand view

function printbarcode()

   local oPrn, oBarcode
   local cText := "FiveTech"

   PRINT oPrn PREVIEW
   PAGE

      oBarCode := FWER_BarCode():New( oPrn:hDCOut, cText, 700,300, 3000, 200, 3 )
      oBarCode:nPinWidth   := 10
      oBarCode:ShowBarCode()     // CODE 128

      WITH OBJECT oBarCode
         :nTop       := 1400
         :nBCodeType := 1     // CODE 39
         :ShowBarCode()
      END

   ENDPAGE
   ENDPRINT

return nil
 

Otto,

Actually, I am using a handheld, wireless, barcode reader. On the Invoice program, there is a button to select the barcode input process I described. For inventory, they can scan in off the part. For the item being serviced, they can scan the ID right off the item.

It's pretty hard to make a mistake with this. If customers were prone to making mistakes, I'd tune the code to block it.

Tim

Hello Tim,
Let me explain what I mean with a photo.
What happens if in this screen your user presses the scan button.
Are then all data deleted.
Kind regards
Otto

I don't know ... but since the scan wants to act as keyboard input, and there is no Get field, I'm not sure how that would react. You might see about having the scanner put a Tab key at the end instead of an Enter key. ( ASCII CODE ).

Hello Tim,
thank you. But then you always have to confirm the scan result.
Best regards,

Otto

Is EasyReport also included in my 9.0 version of FWH??

Nice ... but does it really fill across the page ? It's likely we need barcodes to fit in smaller spaces, ie. a sheet of labels, etc.

Hello Tim,
the width depends on the characters in the barcode.
Best regards
Otto

Dag Marc,
Ik heb mijn FWH geupgraded maar krijg nog steeds een foutmelding bij het compileren en linken ('het systeem kan het opgegeven pad niet vinden')
Kan je mij een copie van uw satandaard compile and link batch file opsturen
De mij door Antonio aangeduide buildh.bat werkt niet met de nieuwe fwh.exe, bcc7 en harbour
dank en mvg
José

Sorry marc, ik heb de fout gevonden
voorlopig geen probleem om de oude *.prg te compileren/linken
ik probeer later eens uw barlib instructie en laat u iets weten
