- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-
- Wbar is a program which generates bar codes (ie: 3 of 9, UPC,
- Postnet, etc) that can be copied to the Windows Clipboard. Once
- in the Clipboard, you can then paste the barcode into other programs
- such as Windows Write, MicroSoft Word for Windows, Paintbrush,
- as well as other Windows programs that can accept bitmaps from
- the Windows Clipboard.
-
-
- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
-
- IBM Personal Computer or Compatible
- MicroSoft Windows 3.0
- Mouse

-
- PROGRAM FILES
-
- The Wbar system comes in two files:
-
- WBAR.EXE executable program module
- WBAR.DOC document that you are reading now
-
-
-
-
- GENERAL PROGRAM OVERVIEW
-
- Upon execution, Wbar produces a typical Windows program
- window. The menu consists of File, Edit, Action, Type and Help.
- When first loaded, the About Wbar Dialog Box appears if you have
- an unregistered copy of Wbar, otherwise you are presented by
- blank window. The cursor takes on the shape of a barcode while
- in the workspace of the Wbar window. To make a barcode, you
- simply position the cursor in the window where you want to place
- the barcode and click the left button on your mouse. A dialog box
- will appear allowing you to toggle various options, select what
- type of barcode to produce and to input the barcode data. Once the
- barcode is drawn in the window, you then choose ACTION from the
- main menu. Clicking on SELECT from the ACTION submenu will toggle
- the cursor to become a cross. You then press the left mouse button
- and drag a box around the barcode. After releasing the left mouse
- button, clicking on COPY from the EDIT menu copies the selected
- box area to be pasted in Bitmap form to the Windows Clipboard.
