The Barcode ActiveX Control offers compatibility with any ActiveX-supported environment or application, such as Visual C++, Delphi, and Microsoft products like Access and Excel.
The Barcode ActiveX Control supports a wide range of bar code types, including Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial, Code 39, Code 39 Extended, Code 11, Codabar, MSI, Code 128 (Auto, Set A, Set B, Set C), EAN Addon-2, EAN Addon-5, EAN-8, EAN-13, EAN-14, UPC-A, UPC-E, UCC/EAN 128, SSCC-18, PostNet, PlaNet, Code 93, Code 93 Extended, and ITF 14.
One of the standout features of the ABarCode-ActiveX Control is its data binding capability. You can easily bind fields in a database to the control and generate barcodes for each data record automatically. This feature makes it incredibly easy to produce reports and labels containing bar codes using any database that supports ActiveX technology, including Microsoft Access or Visual Basic.
The Barcode ActiveX Control also allows you to save bar codes to disk in all major graphics file formats, including GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, EMF, and WMF. The GIF, PNG, and JPEG capabilities even allow the control to be used as a bar code graphic engine on a web server. You can use ABarCode-ActiveX as an ASP server component for IIS to create barcodes dynamically on the server. A barcode will be created inside an HTML file using a simple IMG tag.
The barcode will be created on the server as a PNG, JPG, GIF, TIFF, or BMP image and sent to the browser. No temporary files will be created on the server, and the client does not need any plug-ins. This feature makes the Barcode ActiveX Control a great solution for creating barcodes in an internet or intranet project. Overall, if you're looking to add barcode printing functionality to your applications, the Barcode ActiveX Control is a must-have tool.
