MCL-Bridge DLL

Bridge the Gap to Your Host

Whether for a BackOffice application, a warehouse management system, or enterprise resource planning system, MCL-Collection provides MCL-Bridge DLL for you to create a custom interface between your host application and your mobile computing and barcode printing applications.

As with MCL-Collection’s other bridges, MCL-Bridge DLL includes a development component and a deployment component. The development component is integrated as a standard feature of MCL-Designer as a series of host communication processes:

Send packet
Receive packet
Send file
Receive file
Host lookup
MCL-Link start
Remote file check
Remote file operation
Start EXE on host

Regarding deployment, the MCL-Bridge DLL is simply a library of routines that allows you to create your own deployment component:

Start MCL-Net
Open pipe
Read data packets (from mobile computer or barcode printer)
Send data packets (to mobile computer or barcode printer)
Close pipe
Stop MCL-Net

The deployment component you create can be a self-contained executable that acts as an intermediary between a third-party host application and MCL-Link or MCL-Net, or it can be an extension of a custom host application enabling it to communicate directly with MCL-Link and MCL-Net, which, in turn, communicates with your mobile computing and barcode printing applications.
