If you are a developer and plan to distribute the control with your application, you will be happy to know that the total uncompressed size of all the files that you need to distribute with your application is less than 500Kb. The compressed size is typically less than 200Kb. In fact, only four small files are required to be installed in order to provide complete support for all of the different types of bar codes supported by the TAL Bar Code ActiveX Control. The control was developed using the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) therefore there are no additional runtime dependencies (i.e. MFC Class Libraries or Visual Basic Runtimes). Code signed Internet CAB files are also provided for easy automatic distribution in any web based application.

Note: Some of our customers confuse our Bar Code DLLs with our Bar Code ActiveX control. The TALtech Bar Code DLLs are a completely separate product and are therefore not required in order to use the ActiveX control. The Bar Code ActiveX control is a stand alone component that requires no additional libraries.

Sample Code

To make it even easier to add bar coding capabilities to your applications, we provide you with sample Access, Visual Basic, MS and Borland C++, Delphi, Excel, Word, Internet Explorer, CGI/Perl and Active Server Page (ASP) examples that show how to use the Bar Code ActiveX Control. We also provide free and unlimited technical support.
