In addition to providing barcode functionality
for developers who utilize imaging toolkits, Black Ice will also
provide an optional barcode add-on for the Black Ice printer
drivers. The forthcoming printer driver barcode add-on will allow
Black Ice printer driver customers to automatically add barcodes to
any Black Ice printer driver printjob.
Developers will be able to programmatically
control the barcode type, the information encoded within the
barcode, and the position on the page. Developers will also have the
option to add barcodes to every page of the document, or just the
first page. As with all of the Black Ice printer driver features,
developers can programmatically specify settings, allow users to
specify settings, or developers can hide the barcode tab completely.
The Barcode add on
for the Black Ice printer drivers will include both DLLs and ActiveX
controls, allowing developers to utilize the features with a wide
range of programming languages including C/C++, VB, C#, J#, VB .NET,
Delphi and more!
