How can I create the barcode control using a VBA macro? For example to place a barcode on a document.

Use the following code to create a barcode at the cursors position:

 Set ab = Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject(ClassType:="BARCODE.BarcodeCtrl.1",
          FileName:="", LinkToFile:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False) 

To access the standard properties, you can use the variable ab now:
e.g. ab.width=200

To access the controls properties and methods, you have to do the following:

 With ab.OLEFormat
      .Activate
      Set abobject = .Object
 End With
 abobject.Text = "987698769812" 

Now you can access the properties using the abobject variable.
