Forrest,

Are you printing to a Zebra Printer?? If so they use built in fonts, and a communications protocol called EPLII which I have made some REALbasic wrappers for (except for the 3D barcode functions which I have not used so far, but they are easy to add).

If you want I will split the wrapper module out of my framework for you.

Cheers,
Tom Benson

Before I just run off and write my own...I haven't been able to find a reasonably priced (as in, costs less than it would cost me to hack something together) barcode plugin or other tool for Realbasic. Google has *not* been my friend in this case.

I'm needing to print barcodes from within an application I am writing to print serials and other data to a thermal printer. If I hack it together, I'll probably just get an appropriate barcode font and print accordingly. I'd rather find a simple addon for RealBasic which I can select from several symbologies and have the code just do the right thing without me having to deal with all the little issues such as hight/width and check digit calculation.

Currently I'm using primarily Code 128, but some Code 39.
