The ActiveX Barcode Control and DLL creates linear barcodes such as Code 39 and EAN-13 in any application that supports COM or ActiveX components. This software is highly versatile and generates a wide range of graphic barcodes.
This software package is incredibly versatile and can be used to generate Code 39, Code 128, GS1-128, UPC, EAN, Intelligent Mail and other types of barcode images for use in a variety of applications. It is compatible with a wide range of programs, including Microsoft Access, Excel, Visual Basic, C++, and many others.
One of the key benefits of this ActiveX control is that it does not require the use of special fonts or bitmaps, which can be time-consuming to create and are not always efficient. Instead, the software automatically formats the barcodes to include all the necessary start and stop characters, along with checksum calculations where applicable.
Other features of the package include the ability to work as a DLL, flexible sizing options, text options for adding human-readable characters, and tilde functions for encoding returns, abs, and other functions in a single barcode.
The software has been compiled in C++ ATL for optimal efficiency, and there are no runtime dependencies required. Additionally, it includes a signed CAB file for use with InfoPath and Internet Explorer.
The ActiveX Barcode Control & DLL is available in several different license options to meet a variety of usage scenarios, from single and multi-users to developers and commercial usage. If you're interested in giving it a try, you can download a demo version for testing – although be aware that this version contains an intermittent watermark that may appear in any barcodes generated. The purchased version is fully functional and contains no watermark.
Version 19.11: Redesigned CAB and DLL files with new digital signatures, optimized Data Matrix C40 for rectangular format 29, silent install now available for Developer Licenses, new installation files with 64-bit compatibility.
