Printing Barcodes in Visual Basic
All of our barcode fonts work with Visual Basic. We’ even written Visual Basic functions create barcodes from your existing data.Creating barcodes in Visual Basic is an easy 2-step process:
• pass your data to our function
• format the returned value in one of our barcode fonts
You cannot format a string of text in a barcode font and make a barcode that will scan. Our VB functions add the necessary start and stop bars, and calculate any necessary check digit(s) for you. This eliminates the need to write code from scratch.
Visual Basic functions:
UPC version A • UPC version E • ISBN-13 • EAN-13 • EAN-8
UPC version A check digit • UPC version E undo
Code 128 code set A • Code 128 code set B • Code 128 code set C
GS1-128 code set A • GS1-128 code set B • GS1-128 code set C
Code 39 • Code 39 Full ASCII • Code 39 check digit
POSTNET • Interleaved 2 of 5 • ITF-14
Many people use our Visual Basic routines as a reference implementation and as a starting point when porting to other languages.
Our free demo font creates Code 39 barcodes and works with the Code 39 functions. Download it and see for yourself.
