TAL Bar Code ActiveX Control Demo and Code Samples

TAL Bar Code ActiveX Plus Demo
Download Now (1 MB executable file - Last Updated: 04/2003)
 

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.

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.


Code Samples

Barcoding on the Internet
Explains in detail how to use the TAL Bar Code ActiveX Control with internet based applications.

ActiveX Macro Library
Sample macros for Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.

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.

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.

AXMicrosoft Excel 97/2000 bar code macro example.xls
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.

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.
