Introduction

Active Barcode Components (version 5) are Active-X/Automation Controls that allows barcode images to be created within the user’s own software. A barcode image may be displayed on screen, printed on a printer, saved to a disk file, or passed to the Windows clipboard for incorporation into another Windows application.

Although primarily designed for Microsoft's Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), Active-Barcode Components may be employed with other Active-X-enabled systems, such as the Delphi development environment. Examples provided in this manual are based on Visual Basic 6 and Office 2002/3.

Users should note that the encoding calculations are performed when the component’s image is created, by being used, accessed or copied. Information properties (such as PictureWidth) are not available until the image has been created.
