Compact Framework Control Features:
- 100% managed code - created
in C# for the Compact Framework.
- Developer support - Developers
intending to distribute IDAutomation's control with their applications will
find all the functionality of each barcode control is implemented in a single,
small file.
- Can be used as a DLL without
being loaded on a form.
- Fit to barcode option allows
the control canvas to fit the barcode at design or at runtime.
- Flexible sizing options - The
X dimension, wide to narrow ratio, barcode height, and several other properties
may be adjusted for the intended application and scanning equipment. Measurements
are in cm (centimeters) unless otherwise indicated.
- Graphic configuration - Settings
are provided for the foreground and background colors and fonts for the human-readable
characters.
- Lower ASCII support - Lower
ASCII functions such as returns and tabs are supported in the barcodes for Extended
Code 39, Code 128 Auto, Data Matrix and PDF417.
- Complete GS1-128 Support -
IDAutomation provides easy methods to add all application identifiers into Code
128 barcodes when the "Auto" character set is selected. The control formats
the correct human-readable text by placing the AI's in parentheses as required.
- Checksum options - Checksum
characters can be enabled or disabled in the barcode. In the human-readable
text, checksum characters can be appended to the text. This feature can also
be turned off so the checksum character is not in the text but is encoded in
the barcode. This feature is not applicable to Code 128 because Code 128 contains
characters that cannot be entered from the keyboard.
- Text options - The human-readable
text may be enabled or disabled in the linear barcode control and placed above
or below the symbol.
- Tilde functions for Code 128
Auto, PDF417 and Data Matrix allow easy encoding of returns, tabs and other
functions such as GS and RS functions between
fields in a single barcode symbol. In Code 128 Auto, if "ApplyTilde" is set
to "true," the format ~ddd can be used to specify the ASCII code of the character
to be encoded. For example, Code~009Bar~013 will
create a barcode that encodes Code<TAB>Bar<RETURN>.
- Selectable orientation angles
of 0, 90, 180 or 270 are supported.
- Thermal printer support - In
addition to supporting high-resolution printers, this component prints extremely
accurate barcodes on low-resolution printers. This functionality is automatically
achieved in the component by drawing the symbol according to the resolution
of the printer.
- Royalty-free - With the purchase
of a Developer License the control and runtimes are royalty-free up to 10,000
users with a few other restrictions. Review the License
Agreement for more details about this license.
- C# source code may be supplied
with a purchase of the Unlimited Developer License.
-
Download a free evaluation version - The only restriction
in the evaluation version is the display of the text "DEMO" in the barcode and
a notification message.
