This panel is used to generate single barcodes. The panel consists of an input area where barcode data is entered.
Simply enter text in this field and click the Do Bar button located immediately to the right. The barcode generator will check your entered code and convert it to a barcode format readable by Pay Point systems barcode readers.
File menu option allows access to the File and serial Processing Panels. There is also the customary application close menu option.
The Help menu allows access to the About dialog.
You can control the format of the generated barcode using the following options:
Display Text
This option enables/disables displaying the Human Readable Data along with the barcode data for both display and print.
Copy to Clipboard
When this option is checked, a copy of the resulting barcode data is placed on the clipboard ready for pasting into other Windows applications. This enables the panel to be used to create a barcode that can subsequently be used with other programs such as word processors or graphics applications.
This panel is used to generate New files containing barcode data from user defined criteria. User has the option of generating text or comma separated data files.
Selectable options are:
Prefix
If you wish to have serialised numbers with a specific prefix, then simply enter the required prefix in this filed.
Starting Number/Ending
Set the starting number you wish to use followed by the ending number you wish to include and click the create file button.
Note
If the ending number is lower than the starting number, an error message will be displayed allowing you to correct your choice.
Clicking the Create File button will open the save file dialog box allowing you to select a new file or an existing file. The saved file will be saved either as a text or a comma separated file, according to your selection criteria. The name of the file will also be displayed in the Output file name field within the panel.
There are two further checkboxes which are used to maintain (remember) your

This panel is used to convert existing files that contain data to be converted to
Pay Point barcodes.
The open file dialog box will search for either Comma separated or standard Text files by default.
Once a file has been selected, it will appear in the Input File field and the Convert button will become active. Clicking the Convert button will evaluate the open file and will convert content data to Pay Point barcode data. The file will then be saved with exactly the same name and location, but the word 'Saved_' will be prepended to the name of the file. The user is not required to distinguish between Comma Separated [.csv] or Text [.txt] files.
The View on completion checkbox will run the relevant application that is associated with the file type. This allows the user to check the integrity of generated files.
The Close button will close this dialog.
Included in the installation, you will find a small program named Progtest.exe.
This little program is distributed as a Programming Test that describes methods and information about using the Pay Point Barcode DLL.
This library is included as part of the Pay Point Barcoder which you have the rights to use and distribute with your own applications.
The DLL is written in Borland™ Delphi which is Pascal.
There are four functions in the DLL
Function DoPPBar(input: PChar): PChar; StdCall;
This will produce the Luhn check digit and put it at the end of input string
parameter : input which is a string type
This functions will return a string
Example
input string = 123456789
Luhn check digit will be 7
function return = 1234567897
Function DoPPVal(input: PChar): PChar; StdCall;
This will produce the Luhn check digit only
parameter : input which is a string type
This/All functions will return a string
example
input string = 123456789
Luhn check digit will be 7
function return = 7
