3.9.4 2012-07-25

Version 4 Release History

Version What's new
4.7.1 2017-04-19

- Fixed an issue with falling into "free version" mode after installing some Windows updates and service packs.

4.7.0 2016-05-07

- Support added for the Australia Post barcode.

4.6.1 2016-02-19

- This release allows to insert FNC1-FNC4 function characters into CODE 128.

To insert a FNC character, switch the encoding alphabet to CODE128 and disable code page translation by specifying CodePage=-1. Put the following decimal codes into your data:

  • 128 for FNC1;
  • 129 for FNC2;
  • 130 for FNC3;
  • 131 for FNC4;

A code can be inserted using a tilde sequence like ~d128 or using Chr() function in VB.

This shows how to use a tilde sequence to insert FNC3:

StrokeScribe1.Alphabet = CODE128 StrokeScribe1.CodePage = -1 StrokeScribe1.ProcessTilde = True StrokeScribe1.Text = "ABC~d130DEF" ' FNC3

This shows how to use the Chr() function to insert FNC2:

StrokeScribe1.Alphabet = CODE128 StrokeScribe1.CodePage = -1 StrokeScribe1.Text = "ABC" & Chr(129) & "DEF" ' FNC2
4.6.0 2015-11-07

- Multiple updates and fixes in barcode TrueType fonts.

4.5.5 2015-10-14
