Update for Quricol library from Krzysztof Michalowski

Krzysztof Michalowski modified the code to load library dynamically. This allows you to run a program when there is no library. Here is the code provided to me by Krzysztof.
unit QuricolCode;



interface



uses

  Windows, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Dialogs;



type

  TQRCode = class

  public

    class procedure GenerateBitmap(const FileName : string; const Text : string; Margin : integer = 4; PixelSize : integer = 3);

    class procedure GeneratePng(const FileName : string; const Text : string; Margin : integer = 4; PixelSize : integer = 3);

    class function GetBitmap(const Text : string; Margin : integer = 4; PixelSize : integer = 3) : TBitmap;

    class procedure GetPng(Stream : TStream; const Text : string; Margin : integer = 4; PixelSize : integer = 3);

  end;



implementation





{ TQRCode }



class procedure TQRCode.GenerateBitmap(const FileName, Text: string; Margin,

  PixelSize: integer);

type

  TGenerateBMPWProc = procedure (fileName: PWChar; text : PWChar; margin : integer; size : integer); stdcall;

  dllHandle : cardinal;

  if dllHandle <> 0 then

    @generateBMPWProc := GetProcAddress(dllHandle, 'GenerateBMPW');

    if Assigned (generateBMPWProc) then

      generateBMPWProc(PWChar(FileName), PWChar(Text), Margin, PixelSize)

    else

      ShowMessage('"GenerateBMPW" procedure not found');

    finally

    FreeLibrary(dllHandle);

    end;

  1. nice job you've done Serhiy Perevoznyk with quricol, but what about decoding the qr code? Do you know how to do this with delphi?

  2. I will add this possibility to the library later

  3. great, looking forward to it

  4. Thank you for these very useful postings. I happened to notice a memory leak but only when when the call to GetBitmap is made and in tracking that down, it appears that it just needs a Result.free after DeleteObject(Bmp)line.

  5. I spoke too soon regarding Result.free as that leads to an exception and it may have something to do with something on my end, but am still seeing a memory leak in GetBitmap. It isn't something critical since I'm not planning to use that particular routine. Thanks again.

  6. I updated Quricol library and fixed the bug reported in the previous comment. Download: http://users.telenet.be/ws36637/download/quricol.zip
