Hi everyone !

 

I have one aplication make with PowerBuilder 11.5, and now I have to incorporate two fingerprints works with the aplication.

Both fingerprints are SUPREMA brand, one it's BioMini model and the other it's BioEntry Plus.

 

I have the SDK for each one, but I don't have any idea how develop.

 

Are there here some Freelance Developer that has experience with FingerPrints?

 

Regards

I have implemented FingerPrint reading functionality in PB 12.1 using C++ SDK from fingerprint vendor through PowerBuilder Native Interface (PBNI). Basically, PBNI allows you to write completely custom Powerbuilder functionality and controls directly in C++ without using any bridges like OLE objects or JAVA crap.

Hi,

 

In an application with Power Builder 12.1 I use a "secugen hamster plus", it has an API for java and the same with DLL's. I did the integration with the DLL's. Fortunately, they give the source code of a program made in .Net that calls the Dll's and there I found everything I needed.

I suppose that the brand of your fingerprint readers, should have its own API, and examples of how it is used.

When you read a fingerprint, the fingerprint image is not saved. The signature that generates the fingerprint is saved with a standard algorithm. Then when the same person places the fingerprint, the signature is generated again and through the API it is compared if the signature of the stored fingerprint is equal to the one they are placing at this moment.

Hola Silvio.



Para poder mandar a llamar los métodos de una DLL desde Power Builder, segui el siguiente tutorial http://blogs.artinsoft.net/Mrojas/archive/2009/03/03/Calling-NET-from-PowerBuilder.aspx

En el te indican dos cosas muy imporantes.

1) Para que puedas llamar a la DLL, tiene que tener habilitada la propiedad COM

2) La DLL la tienes que registrar en el Windows de la computadora donde quieres ejecutar el programa. En el tutorial no te enseñan como registrar la DLL, lo que sugieren es que generes un instalador de la DLL, para que ese instalador lo registre por uno. Yo recuerdo que no generé el instaladar, si no que ejecutaba manualmente unos comandos para registrar la DLL.



Un ejemplo de como registrar un DLL de nombre ClassLectorHuella.dll es con el sigiente comando.



REGASM "C:\Program Files\Helti\ClassLectorHuella.dll" /CODEBASE



Una vez que logres mandar a llamar desde PowerBuilder el ejemplo de la DLL del tutorial, debes de entender que la gran mayoria de DLL's que se consiguen de los fabricantes, no van a traer activada la propiedad COM, por lo que no podras mandar a llamar los métodos con objectos OleObject. Eso era así en Power Builder 12, no se si en la versiónes modernas ya se pueda de otra manera.



Entonces yo para resolver el problema de que la DLL que yo tenia de Secugen no traia activada la propiedad COM, cree una DLL propia que unicamente era un puente o intermediario para poder mandar a llamar a los métodos de la DLL de Secugen y como esta era un DLL propia, la misma si tenia activada la propiedad COM con todo lo que indica en el tutorial.

Hi Joaquin,

what kind of SDK do you have? .NET, Java or OLE?

  1. .NET: you need to use MS Interop to access .NET objects and make them COM-visible. Well known PB tutorial: https://www.appeon.com/developers/library/videos/using-net-visual-assemblies-powerbuilder.html, https://www.appeon.com/developers/library/videos/using-net-nonvisual-assemblies-powerbuilder.html
  2. Java: you need to instantiate the PB JavaVM object and use its methods to load Java classes. You'll need JRE installed on your client(s).
  3. OLE: Use the PB OleObject and its ConnectToNewObject() method to load the driver.

Best,

.m
