"We integrated the ActiveX Control in our shipping application for our clients. It's working well for us because it's easy to use and very stable." 
- JD, Western Technology (custom programming services)

All similar barcode symbologies are combined into single, small, fully functional, redistributable files that do not require any license keys or activation. The controls are easy to use with Microsoft Access, Excel, InfoPath, FrontPage, Expression Web, Visual Basic 6, C++, and in .NET Framework. However, IDAutomation recommends using the .NET Forms Control for local .NET applications or the ASP.NET Web Server Control for .NET web applications.

Features

  • Royalty-Free with the purchase of a Developer License.
  • Barcode Image Generator is included that may be used to paste barcodes into other applications or save them to a WMF file. The VB source code is provided to the image generator application for developers to customize.
  • Supports Several Applications including Microsoft Access, InfoPath, Excel, Word mail-merge, Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Visual FoxPro.
  • Works as a DLL and does not have to be loaded on the form.
  • May be Used in .NET as a COM object. For more information, refer to the tutorials about implementation with either VB.NET or C#.
  • Thermal Printer Support is achieved by printing extremely accurate barcodes, even on low-resolution printers.
  • Data Binding API binds to popular relational database systems. Refer to the DataSource, DataBindings, and DataField properties to configure and bind the object to a field in a database.
  • USPS Intelligent Mail IMb is supported as well as Postnet, Planet, and GS1-128.
  • High Performance, Compact Size, and No Runtime Requirements: This ActiveX Barcode Control was created in Visual C++ using ATL without any runtime requirements. The file sizes are very small which makes them easy to distribute, and they use fewer CPU cycles than other controls.
  • Flexible Sizing Options allow changes to the X dimension, wide-to-narrow ratio, barcode height, margins, and the white space between the bars in the barcode.
  • Text Options allow human-readable characters to be enabled or disabled. Human-readable interpretation is often disabled to allow the placement of custom text formatting for specific applications.
  • Lower ASCII Support is provided for functions such as returns and tabs in Code 39, Code 128, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, and PDF417.
  • Complete GS1-128 (UCC/EAN 128) Support is integrated into the component.
  • Checksum Options may be enabled or disabled for applicable linear symbologies.
  • Orientation may be set to 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.
  • Tilde Functions allow encoding of returns, tabs, and other functions such as GS and RS functions between fields in a single barcode. GS and RS functions are commonly used as field separators in UPS, FedEx, and other transportation applications.
  • Bearer Bars may be easily created for ITF and all other linear barcode types.
  • White Bar Increase Option increases the amount of white space in the symbol to improve readability.
  • Supports UPS Barcodes: The Maxicode ActiveX component provided supports UPS Maxicode barcodes including compressed Maxicode.
  • Royalty Free with the purchase of a Developer License. Review the License Agreement for details.
  • Source Code may be provided by request after the purchase of an Unlimited Developer License.
  • Quality Graphics - IDAutomation's ActiveX Barcode Control produces precise, high-resolution Windows Metafile graphics that scale to the resolution of the printer, allowing easy scanning at small symbol sizes. For example, IDAutomation Barcode Scanners dependably read Code 128 printed with a narrow bar width as small as .015cm.

Thank You

Review by Panos on 8/12/2019

I have used the product and scan the Data Matrix really good. We are using this Data Matrix to put the label inside the curb round tub for our products to keep track of our serial numbers. It was easy to install and apply the barcode of Data Matrix.

This was simple to use and exactly what we needed

Review by Greg on 5/29/2016

Customers asked us to print a Data Matrix on our Labels. With this solution we could easily fulfill this request exactly how the customers wanted it. Great Product.

Does exactly what you expect it to...

Review by David on 7/27/2015

We needed to get a barcode to fit into a very specific size label.. We tried a lot of things till we came across this activeX control. It works perfectly - just as described. Comes with a database example.. Couldn't be easier.. Highly recommended..

Reasonably Happy

Review by Paul on 2/8/2015

This software is very easy to use. I just drop an OLE Active X control object in a report and link the control source in the properties dialog box and run the report and its is done. Interestingly, I can write an equation in the control source to link several fields from a query or a table and it will make a custom barcode label. It is great. The only reason I give this software a 4 out of 5 stars is because for some reason when I run the report the report flashes on the screen. Not sure what that is about, but when I save the report the flashing appears to go away. Overall the software works well for what I need it to do. I'm using Win 10 with Office 2013 and the software works well with my current system.

Very Easy to Use

Review by Rachel on 6/4/2014

The ActiveX Control helped a lot, because we can now generate and put 2D barcodes on our labels. The product is very easy to use. We searched for similar products with which we can make the above mentioned 2D barcode and we chose yours. It's worth it!
