Stephen, That's what I am a little confused about. Yes I want to pass an image bac i.e I want to put an Image on the report and make the source something like "=getQR(<parameters>)" where getQR is a method in my ActiveX but for the life of me I can't find out exactly WHAT to send back from the ActiveX... I've tried strings & streamed data but neither of them work.
I guess a goof old forage into the VFP API is called for but I find the documentation sketchy to say the least Thanks anyway, Dave -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: 20 November 2012 14:21 To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: QR Codes in VFP On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 3:57 AM, Dave Crozier <[email protected]> wrote: > Gary, > It isn't the QR codes that I have a problem with, I've sorted out all > the coding for that myself in C# so I can create, read and print them > no problem.

Not user that VFP can make one itself so that raw data is not acceptable. If you make the image can VFP catch a stream? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
