barcodes

I am having trouble finding a way to send a bar code image to the
printer. In VB you would write:

Printer.PaintPicture barcode.barPicture, leftpos, toppos

Can somebody provide me with a code snippet that will do similar in
VFP9? Is there some way that ??? will do the job?

hi Gleason,

use a barcode font in place for the text field in your FRX. most barcode
printers comes with a built-in font for it, or get one from the net, i know a
lot out there are royalty-free...

Thanks, Allan. The advantage of using the xbarcode ocx is that it
gives access to many symbologies, does not require a bar code printer
and can be used outside an frx. The program passes the numbers, and
receives the graphic image back. The bad news is that the FoxPro
language seems to have no way to print such a thing.

Gleason,

If the ocx passes back an image then you can display that image in an image
control (you may have to put it on disk first).

You can also use the GDI subsystem to print the image.
