Hi Mathews,

you can find plenty of 3rd part OLE or NET libraries. Personally, I prefer to go for Google API.

For example,

1) format the URL according to the API, here I want a 230x230 GIF:

http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=230x230&chof=gif&&chl=Hello Google, this is PB 2019 R2&choe=UTF-8&

2) send the request to Google (use PB HttpCient, iNet, etc)

3) receive the response and display the QR blob into a picture control with SetPicture()

Best,

.m

Indeed, the link should be self explanatory.

But if also need an example about how to send the HTTP request and receive the picture, take this one:

(use GetResponseBody(lblb_blob) to download the picture)



Best,

Hello,

I'm facing the same problem. I'm able to receive the blob from Google-API. I can show the qr-code in a window per picturobject.

Code: p_1.setpicture(lbl_body)

But how to show the qr-code in a datawindow for printing?

Hi,

use the Bitmap() function in a computed expression and pass the filename, where you have stored the blob beforehand, as argument.

Best,
