generating Barcodes

[izdabye]

I designed a customer ticketing and quoting system for my company..

I would like to add BarCode technology to this so when the customer comes back in, I can scan his work order or quote to bring the information on screen.. i would rather develop this myself than use a purchased or even a free app. Problem is I can seem to find any documentation on it and I have no clue as to where to look....

Any help would be appriciated..

You're going to need to write an applet or activex object to tie into a scanner.

We at www.klicket.net first started developing a Code128 barcode as ISAPI module (see Barcode ISAPI). Later, we wanted to get more codes, i.e. 2D codes, so I evaluated others.

If you don't find a native CF component: In general, you can buy ANY barcode component for the Win32 platform that can be used as an AtiveX, ATL oder ASP component. You will find then some ASP or PHP code which you can easily translate to CF. We finally bought some good components designed as ActiveX. Pay attention to the documentation because you need it for translating.

Hint: Because ASP is now outdated, you can get some discounts when asking for an "old-fashioned" ASP components.
