TAL Barcode ActiveX

Barcode ActiveX

Barcode Generation in Access, VB, on the Web, and more

The TALtech Barcode ActiveX Control easily adds barcode generating and printing to MS Access, VB, web pages, C++, Excel and more. It not only produces the highest quality barcodes it is also extremely easy to use.

The TALtech Barcode ActiveX Control has all the features necessary to easily add professional quality barcodes to any Windows application including Web pages, database reporting and labeling, product packaging, document tracking, postal barcoding and special purpose barcode labeling applications.

Our ActiveX control is extremely intuitive and powerful tool. Simply insert the Barcode ActiveX Control into your application, specify the desired properties and your barcodes will be generated automatically. It supports data binding so you can bind fields in a database to the control and generate barcodes for each data record automatically. This capability makes it trivially easy to produce reports and labels containing barcodes using any database that supports ActiveX technology including Microsoft Access or Visual Basic. The control is also fully scriptable in Internet Explorer using VB Script or JavaScript making it extremely easy to create web pages containing high quality, high resolution barcodes.

Quality Professional Barcodes

Select from many popular symbologies and customize the size, caption, fonts and more advanced parameters...

Advanced Data Binding

Bind fields in your database to our ActiveX control and dynamically generate barcode graphics.

ActiveX Technology

Based on the accessible, reliable, and easy to implement ActiveX technology developed by Microsoft.

Build Web Applications

Easily implement server-side barcoding to create robust applications on Windows servers (Plus only)

Features

TALtech's Barcode ActiveX Control supports all commonly used barcode symbologies and it allows complete control over all features of each individual barcode symbology including: Precise control over all barcode dimensions, full selection for the foreground, background and text colors, symbol rotation in 90 degree increments complete font selection for the human readable text above or below a barcode symbol. Support for all major linear barcode symbologies such as Code 39, UPC, EAN, Code 128, PostNET, CodaBar, BookLan, HIBC and Interleaved 2 of 5. Support for the newest two-dimensional barcodes including PDF417, Aztec Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, and RSS-14 with the Plus Version. The control is also a data bound control which allows you to easily incorporate it into database reporting and labeling applications. The TALtech Barcode ActiveX Control is the most advanced barcode development tool available on the market today.

High Resolution Graphics

The TALtech Barcode ActiveX Control produces high resolution Windows Metafile (vector) graphics that are completely device independent, fully scalable, and will print to the highest resolution of any printer supported by Windows. No knowledge of the printer resolution is required in advance, the graphics that are produced are extremely precise and require minimal system resources, and all barcodes produced with the TALtech Barcode ActiveX Control will display and print lightening fast.

Save Barcodes in All Major Graphic File Formats

In addition to being able to render all barcodes directly to an output device, the TAL Barcode ActiveX control also provides a "SaveBarCode" method that allows you to save barcode graphic images to a disk file as a vector style Windows Metafile (WMF) graphic. The Plus version of the ActiveX Control also allows you to save barcodes to disk in all major raster style graphics file formats including GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIF, PCX, BMP and TGA (vector based EPS files are also supported). The GIF, PNG and JPEG capabilities allow the control to be used as a barcode graphic engine on a web server. Complete control over the pixel resolution and pixel color depth is also supported allowing you to produce extremely hi resolution barcodes in all graphic file formats.
