Files supplied

The installation program places several files into a subdirectory of your choice. Apart from documentation and help files, these files have the following functions:

DLSCOMP.DLL is the library file. This must be available to applications which you create and which need to use the library. When you distribute your application, this file should be placed either in the application's directory or in the Windows directory of the system on which your application is being installed. This file needs to be distributed with your application.

DLSCOMP.H is a header file which contains the definition of the structure used to pass data between your application and the DLL library, and prototypes for the calls which can be made to the library. This file (which is small) should be copied to your compiler's INCLUDE subdirectory. This file does not need to be distributed with your application.

Note that if you are using using Microsoft's C++ compiler with MFC then DLSCOMP.H must be included using:

extern "C" {
#include DLSCOMP.h
}

The DLLs export the following functions:

Group 1 functions use the Barcode Structure described below.

BarCodemCC          BarInfoCC
BarCodehCC            BarCodeh2CC
BarCodewCC            BarCodemxCC
BarCodecCC            BarCodefCC
BarCodebCC            BarCodebcCC
BarCodeb2CC           BarCodef2CC
BarcodedCC             BarcodedcCC
BarCodepCC            BarfinfCC
BarInitCC

Group 2 functions use barcode properties loaded through a dialog box

BarAskCC                BarAskExCC
BarCdcCC                BarCdcbCC
BarCdcdCC              BarCddCC
BarCdpCC                BarCdmCC
BarCdmxCC             BarCdh2CC
BarCdsCC                BarCdinCC
BarCdrdCC              BarCdinExCC

Finally some additional functions offer special functions

BarAskEx2CC BarcodesCC             GhDlsbarCC
SetDpiCC                 GetDpiCC                Code128DlgCC
get128ControlsCC               set128ControlsCC

The following files are provided for developers:

DLSCOMP.LIB The LIB file created during the compilation of the DLL using Microsoft Visual C.

DLSCOMP.EXP The EXP file created during the compilation of the DLL using Microsoft Visual C.

The dBarcode DLLs do NOT require the presence of other DLLs (such as MFC42 or MSVCRT)
