Barcodes provide an indispensable tool for tracking data. From inventory system, shipping tracking, movie and parking ticket to patient identification, barcodes are being used everywhere. Barcodes greatly aid in error reduction because of the lack of human intervention in the data entry process. Reading barcodes can be done in a fraction of a second. On the other hand, generating barcodes used to take some time to code and requires technical knowledge about barcode symbology. Thanks to TBarcode, generating a barcode in Delphi now only takes 3 lines of code – and without special knowledge at all.
TBarcode is a component to generate more than 90 barcode symbologies, including Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN, UPC-A, UPC-E, PDF417, Data Matrix and QRCode. The component includes most-used functions like the ability to output text below the barcode, adjust the output size, and also allow multiple input modes. TBarcode is developed and supported by WinSoft.
Installation
WinSoft provides an executable installer containing the component, documentation and some sample projects.
