Included in m-Painter’s Featured Components is the ability to generate Barcodes. This functionality is particularly valuable for customers who need to create applications utilizing barcode data, often numerical values, stored in their databases. With this feature, end-users can efficiently scan on-hand inventory from on-screen barcodes and also print barcodes for future use. This enhancement streamlines inventory management, improves accuracy, and increases productivity by leveraging the convenience of barcodes in your applications.

Selecting this will open the Create Barcode window. Here you will select the Barcode Type, the field to use to render the barcode, and the height/width of the barcode.
