Price Checker for Windows 1.0
Moderators:daleadmin, Dale Harris, Alan, Andrew
Hello everyone,
I had developed a price checker program for use with Windows. It is touch screen compatible and contains 2 EXE files. 1 is the actual price checker program and the other is the configuration area.
There are other features I am working on to enhance this, so far they are:
-Screen color options
-Font options
-Screen Resolution
-Auto-Hide taskbar
Currently the password protection is disable because this is a beta version. I have fully tested the password options and works 100%. This is also network compatible so you can configure the price checker on another computer other than the kiosk.
I would like to just have the main program tested and have any bugs reported.
Dale, should I upload the program to this post or send you the file to post in the third-party page?
Thanks

RJ,
You can post the program on your own site and send it to me for the "3rd Party Software" page. I assume that there will be a .TXT file in the .ZIP file that will be the documentation for the program. Do you want me to use your post as the description for the program or do you want to send me another description?
I will try to have the new page up by this weekend.

Dale,
I will make some documentation tonight when i get a chance. The program currently is NOT full screen... However, to make the programming easier, I also need suggestions on what everyone uses for their screen resolution.. do you use 800x600, 1024x760, etc... Since the program would need to run on a standalone PC, or be networked, what would the stand-alone PC's screen resolution be?
I have the install EXE file ready since it includes a file or two that has to be placed in the windows directory. That is why I did not use a ZIP file. This is just so the program can access settings from a database file. I used a database file instead of a text file so that you can't go in the settings file and view the password, etc... The installation program takes only 4 clicks to install and you are good to go. After that you just define the path to your TBL file. The program will display the stock #, price, and description. If the item is at a sale price, the display will show the original price, sale price, and a "You Save" amount. It also features a custom screen header and scrolling message display.
I will post the link to the software tonight. I need to whip up a directory on my web server and setup some kind of web page for the program.

I will be finishing up the last beta version for testing on 1/7/06. Any bugs, please report to this thread. I am a programmer however this is the first time I am interfacing software with Dale's data, and also this was a freelance project, so I really didn't put a whole lot of planning into it or draw anything out before I built it. This is mainly why I need the testing done.

Thanks Andrew. I found that bug the other day and fixed it.
As far as displaying graphics/movies, I can probably add that in, but not right away. I just want the functionality to work right now interfacing with Dales TBL file. I still have to add options in for customizing the colors, etc.
Right now, there are fields in the configurator to add header text and also text for the scrolling banner. I will put the graphics/movies in the "to-do" list.

Pound sign
It works fine but being from the UK would like to change the currency from $ to £.
Thanks for a valuable addition to DHPOS

I am back now and started working out the bugs in the program.
Of all of the POS programming I do at my job and in my free time, I never did any currency changes. Would all that need to be done is just change the $ sign to the £ symbol? would it be 2.00£ or £2.00?
This would be added as an option in the configuration... How would you like me to lay it out?
