DataMatrix Barcode ActiveX Control

DataMatrix ActiveX compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 32-bit and 64-bit


DataMatrix-ActiveX Control has the following features:

Application support
You can use our DataMatrix ActiveX Controls in any application or programming environment that supports ActiveX Controls including Microsoft® Access, Excel, Word, Visual C++, C#, Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Visual Studio.NET, Borland Delphi, C++ Builder and more.

ECC-200
DataMatrix ActiveX Control supports ECC-200 error correction. ECC200 is the newest and most standard version of data matrix error correction. It supports advanced encoding and error checking with Reed Solomon error correction algorithms. These algorithms allow the recognition of barcodes that are up to 60% damaged.

Low-resolution printers support
In addition to supporting high resolution printers, our component prints extremely accurate barcodes on high-speed, low-resolution printers such as the 203 DPI printers. This functionality is automatically achieved in the component by drawing the symbol according to the resolution of the printer.

Data Binding
The DataMatrix-ActiveX Control supports data binding so you can bind fields in a database to the Control and generate barcodes for each data record automatically. The data binding capability makes it trivially easy to produce reports and labels containing bar codes using any database that supports ActiveX technology including Microsoft Access or Visual Basic.

Developer support
Developers intending to distribute our control with their applications will be glad to know that all functionality of each barcode control is implemented in a single, small file. Distribution of our products outside you organization requires a Developer License.

DataMatrix-ActiveX for Internet/Intranet (server side)
DataMatrix-ActiveX can be used as ASP server component for IIS to create barcodes dynamically on the server. A barcode will be created inside a HTML file by using a simple IMG tag. The barcode will be created on the server as PNG, JPG, GIF, TIFF or BMP image and sent to the browser. No temporary files will be created on the server and the client does not need any plug in's. A great solution to create barcodes in an Internet or Intranet project.

DataMatrix-ActiveX for Internet/Intranet (client side)
You can generate barcodes on the client side. To do it, you should install DataMatrix-ActiveX on this computer (a Single User License is required), after that you can create barcodes in IE.

High performance, compact size
Our control was created in Visual C++ using ATL, the file size of the controls is very small (which makes them easy to distribute), they use less CPU cycles than other controls and give greater performance.

DataMatrix Barcode Image Generator
The DataMatrix Barcode ActiveX Control allows you to save bar codes to disk in all major graphics file formats including GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, EMF, WMF. The GIF, PNG and JPEG capabilities allow the control to be used as a bar code graphic engine on a web server.

Graphic configuration options
Settings are provided for the foreground and background colors, data, orientation, etc.

Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool Tested
Our DataMatrix-ActiveX was tested using Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool. During out tests, we emulated simultaneous access of 1000 clients for 48 hours. The test revealed no memory leaks at all together with a high RPS rate (requests per second).
