An overview of our Barcode ActiveX controls and developer DLLs.
Barcode ActiveX and the Barcode DLLs are no longer available, as they do not support 64-bit Windows. We continue to provide support for existing customers.
Our Barcode ActiveX controls and DLLs are robust developer tools designed for software engineers who need to embed dynamic barcode generation directly into their own custom applications or web servers.While B-Coder Pro is a standalone desktop application, our ActiveX products are programming components that seamlessly drop into your development environment.
Seamless Integration: Easily embed barcode generation into Microsoft Access databases, Excel spreadsheets, C#, VB.NET, C++, Delphi, and even classic ASP web applications.
Data Binding: Bind the ActiveX control directly to a database field (like in MS Access) so barcodes update instantly as the underlying data changes.
Zero Dependencies: Once compiled into your application, the runtime components are lightning-fast with minimal overhead.
Broad Symbology Support: Includes support for all major 1D and 2D linear and matrix barcodes.
Our developer tools are the choice for system integrators building massive inventory management systems, automated ticketing platforms, and enterprise reporting software.
