How to create and print barcode 128

[Challenger10]

Hi
How do I create and print a barcode 128 in VB6. I have a program i wrote which creates model #, date, serial # and I need to generate a barcode and print it with the originale label data. I played with a free version of strokescribe activex i can create the barcode 128 and have the serial # index with each label but couldn't find the info to print it on the net.
Would like some input before making a purchase as to the software or activex that would work best with VB6 for creating a barcode 128 and print it with the original data.

Thanks,

Install a barcode 128 font.

If you are using Strokescribe - even the free version - you should not need to install a barcode 128 font; Strokescribe creates the necessary image on the fly. And that's the thing to note - a graphical image. You should be able to print that image quite happily in the same way that you can print an image in a picture box


If you DO download a barcode 128 font instead, you have a little more work to do because you'll need to manually add (and calculate) the correct start and stop characters

Thanks strongm got it working using StrokeScribe which includes about 20 different fonts. Today they wanted to add a QR barcode to the previous and got that going as well, thanks to everyone that enjoy helping others we need more of that in this world.
