TAL Bar Code ActiveX Control Demo and Code Samples
TAL's ActiveX Control easily automates bar code production on labels
or documents. Creates the highest quality barcodes of any type - UPC,
EAN, Code 39, Code 128, etc... even 2D symbologies such as PDF 417, Aztec
and Data Matrix. Visit our ActiveX
Product page for further details and a downloadable PDF document.
A fully working demo version of TAL's ActiveX barcoding tool. Use the
demo to create barcodes in Microsoft Word, Access, Excel, Visual Basic,
etc. and print sample barcodes to your printers. See for yourself how
our ActiveX control creates the highest quality barcode graphics possible
in Windows.
Note: The file "ActiveX Macros.dot" and "AXText2Barcode.xls"
contain macros for use with the TAL Bar Code ActiveX Control and the ActiveX
Demo (see descriptions below). You must enable the macros in your Office
Application in order to use them.
 ActiveX
Macros.dot
Word 97/2000 Macro installer for the ActiveX:
ActiveX Macros.dot has the same macros and functionality as the B-Coder
macros, but have been rewritten in VBA 6 (Visual Basic For Applications)
for use with the ActiveX control. For more information on these macros
visit the ActiveX
Macro Library.
ActiveX Macros.dot is a Word document template that automatically installs
several powerful Word macros directly into the Word "Tools"
menu. The macros that it installs automate the process of creating bar
codes using the ActiveX from within Word. The macros can be used to generate
bar code labels, convert selected text to a bar code, prompt the user
for a bar code message and then automatically insert the bar code into
a document or search through a document and change any text with the style
named "BarCode" from plain text into a bar code. This is a fantastic
add on to the ActiveX if you are a Word user.

AXText2BarCode.xls
-New!
Microsoft Excel 97/2000 bar code macro examples:
This file contains sample Excel VBA macros that will generate a bar code
using the ActiveX Control. The GenerateBarCode() macro uses data in the
active cell for the bar code message and then inserts the bar code graphic
in the worksheet 100 pixels to the right of the cell containing the data.
The xlLoop() macro will loop through all the cells in Column A that contain
data and insert a barcode to the right of the cell.

Delphi
Example for the ActiveX Control
A Delphi version of the Visual Basic Demo that comes with the control.
This sample requires that you have the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control installed
on your system (i.e. it does not include either the demo or the commercial
release of the bar code ActiveX control).
Active
Template Library (ATL) sample application
Demonstrates how to use the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control in a windowless
ATL program. Includes all source code. This sample requires that you have
the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control installed on your system (i.e. it does
not include either the demo or the commercial release of the bar code
ActiveX control).
C++
sample program
This program demonstrates how to dynamically create, move and size the
TAL Bar Code ActiveX control in a window.
Visual
FoxPro 6.0 Example
FoxPro 6.0 does not support the use of ActiveX Controls on reports, however
it is possible to workaround this problem. This example demonstrates how
to use the ActiveX Control on a form to save the bar code image to disk
as a Bitmap image, then insert that image into a General Field in a table.
From there, it is just a matter of adding that general field to the report.
Note: Plus (or Demo) version of the ActiveX control is required for this
example as the bar code images must be converted to bitmaps.
Sample
Bar Code Label printing program for Visual Basic
This file contains the complete source code for a very simple bar code
label printing program. It was written in Visual Basic 6.0 and it uses
the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control to print bar code labels onto standard
Avery label stock. This program is designed to demonstrate how to print
multiple bar code labels onto standard laser label stock. It is by no
means a complete and polished label printing program however it is a good
starting point if you need to add this sort of functionality to your own
Visual Basic programs.
