Hi,
I searched the forum but usually old posts and reading samplas. Not writing?!Well, I need to print order form on the page. But I want to print order number as barcode on the same page too.
Any advice?...

Hi
There are many barcode formats
so which one do you need ?Some are easy to generate "manually"

Hi
Well you can build lib with cmake.
there should be cmake project file somewhere.
its a c api so its a bit "raw"

Hİ @mrjj ,

@Mucip The examples are right there: http://www.zint.org.uk/Manual.aspx?type=p&page=5
They do not use Qt, but it is just C++.
If you think Qt should support bardcodes you can file a change request or even submit a patch.

Hi,
I think I can do it with Zint CLIhttp://www.zint.org.uk/Manual.aspx?type=p&page=4
It creates the barcode png of the requested data very easilly.
By the way there is qt GUI version too. But I couldn't run it anyway. :)http://www.zint.org.uk/Manual.aspx?type=p&page=3
Now issue is as SOLVED for me...

Hi,
I tryed to use zint as below but did not get success?!QProcess process;
process.setWorkingDirectory("D:\\ProgramFiles\\Zint\");
process.start("zint.exe", QStringList() << " -o c:\\sil\\kod.png -d 'CSI0070-1200'");Why?...

@Mucip
Hi
QProcess has error signal you can try to hook up to and see what it says.
often that gives clues to what happens.
-
@Mucip said in How to print barcode on the page or pdf document?:
" -o c:\sil\kod.png -d 'CSI0070-1200'
This is wrong. Each parameter needs to be a string, not all in one string...
-
Hi @jsulm ,
I changed do below but still nothing?!process.start("zint.exe", QStringList() << "-o c:\\sil\\kod.png" << "-d 'CSI0070-1200'");

@Mucip
Windows: Install any downloaded Barcode font on your machine and print the order number with this fontGerhard
-
Hi @Gerhard,
But in this case, you need to install same barcode fonts on every deployed machines. And this is not clear solution for me unfortunatelly... :(Regards,

Just as a note.
you can bundle the font with the app as a resource
and activate it via
int id = QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(":/fonts/monospace.ttf");
