Capabilities

Use Anywhere in WPF

Actipro Bar Code is based on WPF and is implemeted as a WPF control that can be used in any WPF context. Common usage examples are in a FixedDocument, FlowDocument, or added to an XPS document.

Export to Image

Need to export your bar codes to images? No problem! You can easily export any bar code to any image format supported by WPF.

Render to a DrawingContext

You can render any bar code directly to a WPF DrawingContext.

Scales/Rotates Perfectly

Since Actipro Bar Code draws its bar codes using vectors, you can scale them to any size or rotate them and they will still appear crisp. This is most beneficial when using high-DPI printers for printing out things like XPS documents that contain bar codes in them since the bar codes will be crystal clear.

Customization

Actipro Bar Code is packed with features for completely customizing the display of vector-based bar codes.

Options such as controlling if and how the value displays, having the displayed value intrude into the bar lines, showing a caption above the bar code, setting bar height, etc. are options found on each symbology implementation.
