Detailed Description

These function calls are required to produce a barcode with standard settings.

The barcode can then be drawn on a device context using BCDraw() or written to file using BCPostscriptToFile() (or similar). Some of these functions are only necessary for applications which are using a static library of TBarCode.

Note:

A static library is available on request only. Please contact support@tec-it.com

The following examples shows how you will use these functions in your code.

 /* License TBarCode */
 BCLicenseMe("LicenseeName", eLicKindDeveloper, 1, "LicenseKey", eLicProd2D);

 /* Allocate memory and retrieve barcode handle (pointer) */
 t_BarCode* pBC;
 BCAlloc(&pBC);
 
 /* Set barcode symbology, data and other properties. */
 ...

 /* Create barcode pattern (bars, spaces) */
 BCCreate(pBC);

 /* Call functions to draw or save barcodes */
 ...

 /* Release memory / free barcode structure */
 BCFree(pBC);
