Printing Barcode 128B from Lab Winows/CVI

[DMF2]

How can I generate and print barcode 128B from LabWindows/CVI?

Thanks.

Well, there is no ready to use function in CVI to do that. So you have the options to start from scratch by getting the specs of the barcode, the manual of your printer and doing some lowlevel graphics programming. Or to get/buy a 3rd party library. Googling for "barcode print library" shows up at least one product which promises to do the task.

markus is correct, you want to find a third party bar code library.  The two easiest types to integrate into CVI are a microsoft ansi_c compatible dll (not Visual C++ only or you will have to place a C wrapper around the C++ interface), and an Active X control.  Both are pretty easy.  I have no experience with this company but here is a link to these types of libraries
