FoxBarcode FAQs

I can read the images generated by FoxBarcode?

Yes, with the following readers online:

• http://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com
• http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com
• http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx

Can you rotate bar codes generated

Yes, changing the value of the nRotation property. Valid values are: 0 -> 0°, 1 -> 90°, 2 -> 180° and 3 -> 270°.


Why the error "OLE error code 0x800A0046"?

This is a bug in VFP Image object and images different JPG and BMP formats. A workaround is to write the following code in the Destroy method of the Image object:

THIS.PICTURE = ""

Why does the scanner does not read the code generated by FoxBarcode?

If printing is not good, increases the value of the nFactor property to 2 or more.

Also make sure the scanner is correctly configured to read the bar code symbology selected.


The human-readable is not clear

Use the image format PNG or BMP. Setting the property cImageType = "BMP" or "PNG"


FoxBarcode Supports QR Code?

Currently supports the QR Code with the supplement FoxBarcodeQR which uses the free library BarCodeLibrary.DLL of Dario Aranda Alvarez (Mexico)
