Features

Suitable for use with Visual Basic-6, VBA, Visual C/C++, Visual Studio.NET and later, and Delphi.

The dLSoft dBarcode-2D Developers kit includes a 32-bit Active DLL and full instructions and source code examples for writing your own barcode applications in Microsoft Visual Basic 6, VBA (MS Access), Visual C/C++ and .NET and Delphi. A similar 32-bit OLE-2 server is included for use with OLE-enabled Windows applications (eg. MS Office). Includes a sample Mailmerge for creating font-based barcodes* in Microsoft Word.

Current release includes a 64-bit DLL and samples (with C/C++ source code) for creating barcode images and font-based barcodes* using Visual Studio 2005 or later.

Each unit enables the developer to set the code, code type, size, font details, orientation, background and foreground colours, and to enable or disable text characters all from within their application.

Each unit generates both a metafile picture containing the barcode image and a pattern string for bars and spaces. The picture may be displayed, printed, saved or passed to the clipboard by the user’s code.

Full HELP system and pdf manuals included. (Help file also available from Home menu above).
