Would anyone be able to help me test my barcode component, I have debugged it and beta tested it as much as I can on my computer, but I have limited resources (i.e. no other computer) and need to know if it works as well on other PC's
It is a code128 barcode component, which will put a barcode on anything that has a DC (Printer or screen). It is an ActiveX Dll and I have included a simple example which lays out the properties and methods.
code128 is probably the most flexible bar code technology, which can use Alphanumerics (Upper and lower case), numbers and most special characters. More than 95% of comercially available barcode scanners can decode it.
Numeric data uses a different coding method, therefore takes up only half the space on non-numeric data, but code128 can swap in and out of this mode within the barcode. My activeX component automatically Optimises the data to get the most compact barcode.
It can be printed vertically or horizontally and with or without the text representing the code.
With this test version 25% of the barcodes will have an inherant flaw (on purpose).
If you download the file, you should use the regsvr32.exe to register it in windows. When creating your project, you will need to create a reference to it through the menus Project>References.... Find and select the 'Barcode Insertation Component (beta version)'.
Any feedback would be very helpful to me.
Thank you in advance.
