Introduction

 

dBarcode is a Windows utility which enables barcode images to be created and inserted into other Windows applications.

dBarcode images are normally created as Windows Metafiles. These are continuously scalable and maintain a high quality at any size. However, dBarcode can also create images in other graphics formats and save them as BMP, EPS, GIF, JPG, PCX, PNG or TIF. files. dBarcode Professional and the modules in the dBarcode Suite and later also includes facilities for generating batches of images from a text file.

While most barcodes are used as black bars on a white background, dBarcode does provide the option of selecting both foreground (bar) and background colours, and dBarcode can display the code text below the barcode using a font of your choice, and optional bearer bars and margin indicators.

dBarcode may be used as a standalone program for creating barcode images (which can then be copied to the clipboard for pasting into other applications, or saved into files); dBarcode Professional and the modules in the dBarcode Suite may also be used as OLE servers to insert Objects into OLE enabled applications, such as Word.

Please note that before dBarcode may be used as an OLE server it must be run at least once as a standalone program so that it can register itself with the Windows Registry.
