V11.0.0

New Barcode Types

  • Swiss QR Code 2.0
    Implemented Swiss QR Code version 2.0 based on Swiss Payment Standards 2019.
  • DotCode Rev. 4.0
    A rectangular 2D code which encodes data in an array of nominally disconnected dots. The dots are aligned diagonally on a grid. The code supports data formats like GS1 Application Identifiers, several industry formats and data envelopes.
  • Han Xin Code
    A 2D matrix code with special support for the Chinese character set GB18030. It has a capacity of up to 4350 ASCII characters.
  • Postal Codes
    Newly added postal codes: Royal Mail Mailmark® 2D, Royal Mail 4-State Mailmark™, USPS Intelligent Mail Package
  • Pharmacy Barcodes
    Newly added PPN Code (Pharmacy Product Number) and NTIN Code (National Trade Item Number), both are Data Matrix based codes used in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • Data Matrix DRME
    Data Matrix has been extended with the rectangular symbols from the latest DMRE standard (ISO/IEC 21471).

Enhancements

  • Simplified User Interface
    The advanced barcode settings are now accessible via a floating property grid. The available properties have been extended and are easier to set.
  • Mail Merge
    The serial letter function has been revised and now has improved stability. Logging has been refined as well.
  • Less Dependencies
    No embedding of ActiveX Controls in order to improve stability.
  • Upward Compatibility
    All EMF bar codes embedded with the previous version (starting with V10.9.0) can be accessed also from V11.
  • TBarCode Library
    This version uses TBarCode Library 11.11.5.

V10.9.0

Enhancements

  • Microsoft Office 2019
    The add-in is compatible with Microsoft Word 2019 and Microsoft Excel 2019.
  • EMF Bar codes
    Word/Excel Add-In: Now bar codes are embedded as EMF pictures instead of ActiveX® Controls. EMF images have a smaller "footprint" regarding system resources and are the recommended workaround for stability issues and crashes we recently encountered in Word or Excel when using ActiveX Controls (e.g. if you open two documents in parallel, Word or Excel may suddenly close). The method of embedding bar codes - either by ActiveX Control or EMF pictures - can be managed in the add-in options.
  • Conversion Wizard
    For an easy transition to EMF barcodes, users of the Word and Excel add-in will see a conversion popup when they open a document with TBarCode 10 ActiveX Controls. On demand, embedded ActiveX Controls can be converted to EMF pictures automatically. The auto-conversion of documents can be disabled in the add-in options.
  • Linked Cell for EMF
    Excel Add-In: Now EMF barcodes support data binding to a cell (Linked Cell). Linked bar codes are updated automatically before printing and (on demand) also on saving. From now on EMF bar codes are a fully functional alternative to ActiveX Controls and avoid their higher resource consumption and stability issues.
  • Persistent Barcode Settings
    The last values from Barcode Settings are stored now in registry. Next time, the panel is opened, the previous settings are loaded as default.
  • Update Notification
    The add-in checks online for updates and notifies the user in the TBarCode Panel status bar (can be disabled in the add-in options).
  • Refresh Barcodes
    Word Add-In: A new "Refresh Barcodes" button in the TBarCode Panel updates all bar codes in the document - especially useful for refreshing dynamic values from placeholders. Improved as well: The bar codes in the current document are updated automatically after licensing.
  • VSTO Package (Setup)
    Updated VSTO Runtime to 10.0.60828 (1/12/2018)

Fixes

  • Mail Merge
    - Avoiding the Clipboard for mail merge to printer - this improves stability in Word 2013 and 2016.
    - Fixed: Mail merge slightly scales barcode size.
  • Empty Barcodes
    Fixed: Empty bar codes when opening the TBarCode Panel in Microsoft Excel®. This problem was caused by some screen drivers in combination with Excel design mode. The rendering of EMF barcodes is also affected by the problem. To deal with rendering problems in the future, also a new draw mode has been added.
  • Clipboard
    Fixed: Copy to Clipboard may truncate bar code (last bar too small).
  • Help File
    Fixed: Help file not found in case of "All Users" installation.
  • Num Lock Key
    Fixed: Inserting a bar code in the Excel Add-In disabled the Num Lock key.

Known Problems

  • Mail Merge
    Word-Add-In: Free floating EMF pictures (e.g. wrapping style "in front of text") can lose their anchor position during a mail merge. Please note that only the wrapping style "inline with text" is officially supported for mail merges.
  • Windows Compatibility
    There are compatibility problems with Windows 10 version 1803 and the TBarCode 10 ActiveX Control (used by the add-in). With the help of the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter of Windows 10 you can run Word and Excel in a compatibility mode for a previous Windows version - this may solve the issue temporarily. The final solution would be to use EMF pictures in Word and Excel as supported by the 10.9 add-in version.
