Visual Basic Barcode Integration Guide Integrate barcoding into VB 6 and Visual Basic .NET
IDAutomation provides several products and options for
implementing barcodes in VB with
flexible license
agreements to meet a variety of needs including single user licenses
and royalty-free developer licenses.
The following chart may be used
to determine the best product needed:
The easiest implementation option when the barcode type
does not matter and the data is numbers and/or uppercase
letters. It is suggested to use the
Codabar
Font for numbers only and the
Code
39 Font when encoding numbers and uppercase letters.
Data is easily formatted to the barcode font by appending
asterisks to the beginning and ending of the data being
encoded; no other DLLs or source code are needed.
Tutorials are provided for implementation
with VB 6 and
VB.NET.
Easily integrates into the project, without the requirement
for additional DLLs.
Supports most linear barcode types.
Modules and source code are included for VB 6, VBA and
VB.NET.
Methods in the module calculate
the start, stop and check digits and return a character
string, that when combined with
IDAutomation Barcode Fonts, create a correct barcode.
