Barcode Scanning?

[DanBarclay]

I don't have immediate use for those but did look at the sites above since I'm curious. 

It appears that one reads bar codes (but not QR codes), the other reads QR code (but not barcode).  I haven't tried any samples to confirm though.

Which codes are you trying to read?  I've created/printed barcodes for decades, long enough that I had to figure out the codes and write my own lib for the ones I needed (coded documents for scanning/indexing).  Any reading I needed for testing I just used a wand <lol>.  These days you need to do it with phones.

Good morning Dan!

I use Fast Report to allow my customers to create custom reports / tickets so I have allowed them to use all types of barcodes in the past.

The last time I tried to do a web barcode scanning solution 5+ years ago, I was still thinking / taking a PC centric view; that is, using a barcode scanner to scan a barcode as phones were to slow / uneven performance.

Yesterday I tried my various phones from the last 2 years + my IPad 2018 Pro and they all worked great using the QR code demo.

So for my upcoming solution, I am going to tell them they have to use QR codes and I am going to provide another task with my IW web module.

This will be a good solution until I have time to finish my standalone FireMonkey app which will also allow many other tasks.

All the best,

Shane

Someone may have already posted this, but there is open source Delphi code at Debenu for creating QR code:
