Creating Barcode in Powerbuilder Application

In making the barcode, before I use barcode fonts are available on the internet. but this time I see another tutorial from Morovia, through DLL Morovia font-tools, which provides an easy-integration with Sybase PowerBuilder development toolset that
allows many types of barcodes to be seamlessly generated from within PowerBuilder-developed applications.

I have not tried more about this, but from the PowerBuilder tutorial is presented that allows Morovia barcode generation of high-variable-in applications by providing two main components: (1) a series of true-type fonts that correspond to a certain height and types of barcodes and (2 ) function that produces the result set based on the barcode string requested value when assigned to the field with an appropriate font, create the barcode corresponding to the type and the required value. For detail tutorial you can get here.

Using the Workspace tab page

The Workspace tab page in the System Tree displays the current workspace and all its targets. PowerScript targets display the library list for the target and all the objects in each PBL. Web targets display the contents of the root folder of  the Web target. The Workspace tab page in the System Tree works like a tree view in the Library painter, but you can keep it open all the time to serve as the control center of the development environment. As in the Library painter, you can set the root of the Workspace page to your computer’s root directory, the current selection, or any directory or library, as well as to the current workspace.

One of the PowerScript targets, client, has a second library, emusic_data.pbl, in its library search path. You can use the Workspace page as the hub of your PowerBuilder session. Pop-up menus let you build and deploy targets and open and edit any object. The following table lists the actions you can take on each item that displays on the Workspace page. You can also set properties for each item, choose which object types display in the tree view, change the root of the Workspace page, and reset the root to the current workspace.

About Powerbuilder

PowerBuilder is an object-centric graphical application development environment. Using PowerBuilder, you can easily develop many types of applications and components. PowerBuilder provides all the tools you need to build enterprise systems, such as order entry, accounting, and manufacturing systems.

Two-tier and multitier 
PowerBuilder applications can be traditional graphical client/server two-tier applications applications that access server databases. A traditional client/server application is a collection of windows that contain controls that users can interact with. You can use standard controls—such as buttons, check boxes, drop-down lists, and edit controls—as well as special PowerBuilder controls that make your applications easy to develop and easy to use.

You can also build multitier applications with PowerBuilder. A multitier application usually has a client application that requests services from a server application or component. For example, your client application could request services from a PowerBuilder component on an EAServer or MTS server. The
server component often requests services from a server database and/or other server components.

Web applications
PowerBuilder applications can also be Web based. You can create a new Web-based application for the Internet or Intranet, or adapt or extend an existing PowerBuilder application for the Web.
