I am trying to create a simple app that will print barcode labels based on a range entered by a user.
The problem i have is that with the following code the label values are all the same:
If i add all the code within the the loop, the label values are correct but it prints out slow because the printer prints out a label sets itself then prints the next one.Code:Dim SA As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES Dim hPortP As IntPtr Dim poStart As Integer = txtStart.Text Dim poEnd As Integer = txtEnd.Text Dim i As Integer = poStart objhPort = CreateFile(objLPTPORT, objGENERIC_WRITE, _ objFILE_SHARE_WRITE, SA, objOPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0) hPortP = New IntPtr(objhPort) outFile = New FileStream(hPortP, FileAccess.Write, False) fileWriter = New StreamWriter(outFile) fileWriter.WriteLine("N") Do Until i = poEnd + 1 fileWriter.Write("A120,30,0,a,1,1,N,") fileWriter.Write(Chr(34)) fileWriter.Write("*PO" & i & "*") fileWriter.Write(Chr(34)) fileWriter.Write(Chr(13)) fileWriter.Write(Chr(10)) i = i + 1 fileWriter.WriteLine("P1") fileWriter.Flush() Loop fileWriter.Close() outFile.Close() retval = CloseHandle(objhPort)
Im using a Thermal printer so speed of the printing is key.
Thanks for any help.
