Free Barcode Sample Code
Use our free barcode sample code in conjunction with our barcode software packages to create bar codes within your favorite applications: Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, Crystal Reports. Or write your own custom application in Visual Basic or C/C++ and wire our code right in.
These application plug-ins add the start and stop characters, calculate any necessary check digit/s and then map the result into our fonts’ character set. Our sample code relieves you of having to learn how barcodes work, and from building bar codes from scratch.
How does it work? Easy- pass your data (your product number, UPC number, ISBN, invoice code, etc) into an Azalea function, the function returns you a value. Format that value into a barcode font and voila, a printable, scannable barcode.
Because barcodes require special characters and check digits, simply typing your data in a barcode font won’t create a scannable barcode. Your data must pass through our encoder. Let our sample code do all the heavy lifting for you!
Crystal Reports
Our UFL (User Function Library) for Crystal Reports is a plug-in that integrates our barcode fonts into the SAP/Business Objects reporting tool. We’ve got step-by-step instructions, complete with screen shots, on how to create barcodes directly within Crystal Reports.
If you’ve got Crystal Reports 2008, support for making Azalea barcodes is already built right in! See your Crystal Reports 2008 documentation for further information.
Access
All of Azalea’s products come with free sample code to help you integrate our fonts in your Access database. Creating barcodes in Microsoft Access is an easy two part process: pass your data in, then format the returned value into one of our fonts. You’ll find instructions and sample Access databases below.
Excel
Creating Azalea barcodes within your Excel spreadsheet is a quick, efficient process. All of our software comes with an Excel-specific XLA file that lets you turn hundreds or thousands of part numbers, UPCs, ISBNs, ID numbers, etcetera, into printable, scannable barcodes in a few easy steps.
