User Comments |
“We integrated the ActiveX Control in our shipping application for our clients. It’s working well for us because it’s easy to use and very stable.” - JD, Western Technology (custom programming services)
“The 2D barcode in the ActiveX Control gave us the flexibility to use our own software system (Access) to provide reports to our customers – it was key to our success” - Don, Hall and Stavert (marine propeller manufacturer)
“I use the Image Generator in my print shop and really like the copy and paste feature. It makes it user-friendly for someone with no bar code experience.” - Neil, Village Print Shop, Cincinnati

General ActiveX Control Information |
These advanced controls function like a graphic image, somewhat like
a graph chart in Excel and they do not use fonts or bitmaps. To see how easy they are to use, view the ActiveX
Control Tutorial Site.
Our bar code ActiveX Controls support several linear and two dimensional barcode symbologies including Code 39, Extended Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, LOGMARS, Codabar, EAN-128, USS Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, MSI, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 11, Code 93, Industrial 2 of 5, POSTNET, PDF417, Data Matrix ECC 200 and MaxiCode barcode symbologies.
Although this product is compatible with Microsoft® .NET, you may wish to evaluate our .NET Windows® Forms Control if you are developing exclusively in the .NET environment.

Our ActiveX Controls allow for easy "drag and drop" barcode creation in Windows® applications. All of our ActiveX Controls have the following features:
- Barcode Image Generator Included - all of our ActiveX Controls are provided with a barcode image generation application that can be used to copy barcodes into other applications or save them to a WMF file. This application is very easy to use, see an example. VB source code is also provided with this application.
- Application support - you can use our ActiveX Controls in any application or programming environment that supports ActiveX Controls including Microsoft® Access, Excel, Word, Visual C++, C#, Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Visual Studio.NET, Borland Delphi, and C++ Builder.
- Also works as a DLL - our advanced ActiveX Control also works as a DLL in your application so it does not have to be loaded on the form. see an example... (You can create as many instances of our ActiveX object within your application, but the DLL does not support multi-threading and will not run as a separate process.)
- .NET compatible - fully tested and compatible with dot net as a COM object. See our tutorials about implementation with either VB.NET or C# .NET for instructions.
- Developer support - developers intending to distribute our control with their applications will be glad to know that all functionality of each barcode control is implemented in a single, small file. Distribution of our products outside you organization requires a Developer License.
- Thermal Printer Support - in addition to supporting high resolution printers, this component prints extremely accurate barcodes on high-speed, low-resolution printers such as the 203 DPI thermal transfer bar code printers we sell. This functionality is automatically achieved in the component by drawing the symbol according to the resolution of the printer.
- Data binding - our ActiveX controls easily bind to the most popular relational database systems. Refer to the DataSource, DataBindings, and DataField Properties to configure and bind the ActiveX control to a field in your database.
- High performance, compact size and no runtime requirements - all of our controls were created in Visual C++ using ATL which means there are no runtime requirements, the file size of the controls is very small (which makes them easy to distribute), they use less CPU cycles than other controls and give greater performance.
- Flexible sizing options - the X dimension, wide to narrow ratio, barcode height and other properties may be adjusted for the intended application and scanning equipment. Measurements are in CM (centimeters) unless otherwise indicated.
- Graphic configuration options - settings are provided for the foreground and background colors and fonts for the human readable characters.
- Lower ASCII support - lower ASCII functions such as returns and tabs are supported in the barcodes for Extended Code 39, Code 128, Data Matrix, MaxiCode and PDF417. In addition, the Code128 symbology in the linear control allows easy encoding of returns, tabs and other functions such as GS and RS functions between fields in a single barcode symbol. Read more about this...
- Complete UCC/EAN 128 Support - we provide an easy method to add application identifiers into Code 128 and UCC128 barcodes that also format to the correct human-readable text. Read more about this...
- Checksum options - checksum characters can be enabled or disabled in the barcode. In the human readable text, checksum characters can be appended to the text. This feature can also be turned off so the checksum character is not in the text but is encoded in the barcode. This feature is not applicable to Code 128 because Code 128 contains characters that cannot be entered from the keyboard.
- Text options - the human readable text may be enabled or disabled in the linear barcode control. This feature is sometimes disabled by programmers that develop custom formatting for the text.
- Selectable orientation - angles of 0, 90, 180 or 270 are supported.
- Tilde Functions - in our PDF417, DataMatrix and MaxiCode products allow encoding of returns, tabs and other functions such as GS and RS functions between fields in a single barcode symbol. GS and RS functions are commonly used as field separators in UPS, FEDEX and other transportation applications.
- Supports UPS Barcodes - the Maxicode component provided supports UPS Maxicode symbols including compressed Maxicode.
- Royalty Free - with the purchase of a Developer License the control and runtimes are royalty free up to 10,000 users with few other limitations. Review the License Agreement for more details about this license.
- Source Code - we will supply the C++ source code if you purchase 3 Developer Licenses and sign the source code license agreement.
- Quality graphics - our controls produce precise, high resolution Windows® Metafile graphics which scale to the resolution of the printer. Using our linear control with a 600 DPI laser printer, the Intermec and Opticon CCD Scanners were able to scan Code 128 printed with a narrow bar width as small as .015CM. The Intermec PDF scanner read PDF417 symbols printed at .015CM and the HHP Imager scanned DataMatrix as small as .02CM.

ActiveX Control & DLL License Information:
The following is a summary of licensing and pricing, refer to the License Agreement for details about the license.
- Small Company Developer License: With this license, the rights of the Developer License are granted to all organizations with a gross annual revenue or funding of less than 2 million U.S. Dollars (or equivalent amount in a foreign currency) if that company purchases either two (2) Single User Licenses for the same product or the Small Company Developer License and sends us a signed Small Company Agreement which is located at http://www.idautomation.com/sca/.
- The Developer License allows one developer royalty-free distribution of the Software internally (in the same organization) and externally (outside the organization bundled with an application) up to 10,000 user licenses, provided you adhere to the Developer License distribution terms. When distributing our components outside your organization, you may not resell, rent, lease or distribute the components alone, they must be bundled with an application or with the application's installation files. For details, review the distribution terms. If you have more than one developer that will be developing applications using the components, you will need to purchase a Developer License for each additional developer.
- The 5 Developer License grants the rights of the Developer License for up to 5 developers and 20,000 user licenses. This license is also granted if two Developer Licenses are purchased.
- The Unlimited Developer License grants the rights of the Developer License for an unlimited number of developers and an unlimited number of user licenses. This license is also granted if three Developer Licenses are purchased. With this license, the source code can be supplied if you sign the source code license agreement.
- The Single User License allows use of the Software for one effective user in your
organization. The number of effective users for software licensing is
determined by the method defined below that returns the greatest number.
- The number of users contributing to the data that is printed with the Software. For example, 25 users entering or editing data on a host where only 1 program prints barcodes to 1 printer, would require 25 user licenses. According to the multi-user licensing below, this would require 2 Single User Licenses to be purchased.
- The number of users that have the Software installed on their CPU.
- The number of printers that are being printed to with the Software. For example, 1 user printing to 5 printers would require 5 licenses. Per the multi-user licensing below, 2 Single User Licenses would need to be purchased.
- Multi-User Licenses are obtained by ordering
multiple single user licenses of the same product. The effective number of
licensed users is determined by the following:
1 Single User License = 1 licensed user
2 Single User Licenses = 25 licensed users
3 Single User Licenses = 100 licensed users
4 Single User Licenses = Developer License Granted for 10,000 licensed users - We offer free technical support and product upgrades for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase on all software products. Technical support and product upgrades may be provided beyond 90 days if the Extended Support and Upgrade Protection option is purchased when you order.
