Barcode VCL Component for Windows 10 - Full description
Barcode VCL Component is a visual component set for developers who need to generate and print barcodes from Delphi or C++ Builder applications. It integrates with the VCL design environment so a barcode can be configured as part of an application rather than produced through a separate utility. The components are intended for business software that creates labels, forms, reports, shipping documents or other printed material containing machine-readable codes.
The set supports a broad range of linear, clocked and postal symbologies, including Codabar, Code 11, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN and UPC formats, MSI, ITF, Pharmacode, Postnet, OneCode, Telepen, Plessey, Planet and RM4SCC. For Code 128 and EAN-128, developers can insert FNC1 and select code sets within a barcode. Check digits are calculated and added automatically, reducing the need to implement that part of barcode generation in application code. The available symbologies suit common retail, inventory, mailing and identification workflows.
Barcodes can be drawn directly onto a canvas or sent to paper, with controls for scaling and rotation in either workflow. Foreground and background colors can be set independently for the barcode, and optional accompanying text can use Windows fonts with configurable text colors. These options let developers adapt code appearance to an application's forms or printed layout while keeping the barcode and its human-readable value together. The components are visible at design time, allowing settings to be adjusted in the IDE and previewed as part of the application interface.
Database functionality supports applications that generate codes from stored records, while QuickReport integration enables barcode fields to appear in reports. The components can be used in standard applications as well as web server, ISAPI and Apache DSO applications. This makes the package relevant to developers building internal tools, reporting systems, point-of-sale software, product-label workflows and server-side document generation. Applications that include the components can be deployed royalty free, according to the product's stated licensing terms.
The component set is intended for Delphi and C++ Builder, with support listed for compiler releases ranging from Delphi 4 through XE and C++ Builder 4 through XE. Its license is Demo, and the download is provided for Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit systems. It is a development component rather than a standalone barcode editor, so its features are used from within a compatible development project. Developers should match the component package to the compiler environment used to build their application.
