| Toolkit Interfaces DLL Interface SoftekBarcode.dll (Windows system folder) The DLL allows programmers to access the properties and methods of the toolkit via functions prefixed with "st". For example, the ScanBarcode method is called stScanBarcode and the LineJump property can is set and retrieved using the functions SetLineJump and GetLineJump. The files SoftekBarcode.lib and SoftekBarcode.h can usually be found in the folder "C:\Program Files\Softek Software\Barcode\DLL". This folder also contains the Visual Basic declarations in the file "Visual Basic.txt". Active X Control or OCX SoftekBarcode.ocx (Windows system folder) The Active X Control can be embedded in a form or dialog and the methods and properties of the toolkit accessed through the associated object. Visual Basic Wrapper Class
SoftekBarcode.vb (Usually in folder "C:\Program Files\Softek Software\Barcode\DLL") The wrapper class provides access to the DLL via a simple Visual Basic class. Most of the properties and methods of the toolkit are supported through this interface. COM Object SoftekATL.dll (Windows system folder) The COM object allows access to most of the properties and methods in the toolkit, although some of the methods differ slightly in operation from the other interfaces. 100% Managed .Net Component SoftekBarcodeLib.dll (Windows system folder) The managed component allows programmers working within the .Net framework to access most of the methods and properties of the toolkit. This interface is also thread safe. Examples for the above interfaces can be found at the Softek web site at http://www.softeksoftware.co.uk/download.html#EXAMPLES. |
