Barcode Fonts |
- The easiest implementation option when the barcode type
does not matter and the data is numbers and/or 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 is needed.

C++ Header File with
Barcode
Fonts |
- Easily integrates into the project, without the requirement
for additional DLLs.
- Supports most linear barcode types.

Barcode ActiveX
Control with Visual Studio .NET |
IDAutomation's ActiveX controls
may be used in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET. The integration process
is slightly different than for Visual C++ 6. The
sample download provided uses our
PDF417 ActiveX control as the primary example, but may easily
be converted to use any of our other ActiveX controls. Documentation
for doing this is in the included file, readme3.txt. The
example was created using Visual Studio.NET
2002, but may be opened and converted to Visual Studio.NET 2003
or later versions. |
