Barcode in BIRT report

Hi,

Currently i am working with BIRT 2.5.2 version and i got new assignment regarding the barcodes in the report.

My report dataset will return the no of columns in that i have to take one column which contain string data type. I need to show that as a Barcode in the report.

Any body Please help me to get it done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Srinivas.T

Hi Srinivas,

This should be pretty strait forward task assuming you already have a barcode font installed on the development and client pc's. Otherwise, check out the free barcodes (limitation do exist) from idautomation.com

With the data item selected, select the appropriate barcode font from Properties>General>Font value.

Using idautomation's barcode, the data item must contain a prefix and suffix value of either "*" or "!". So, if a part number of 123456 is to be barcoded, I must create a Computed Column in the dataset to append the prefix such that it results as *123456*.

I hope this helps you get started with your assignment,

Daron

I've used a <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.onbarcode.com/products/birt_barcode/'>BIRT Barcode Control</a> for my project and it works well. 
 
Hope it be useful for you!
