See by the practical example, how you can use ActiveBarcode. You can use the examples as a starting point to your own solutions.

The examples for Office products contain a macro.
So, the execution of macros should not be completely deactivated in the Trust Center. Easiest is to open the documents at a trusted location. You can configure this at the Trust Center.

When using an old Office version before 2007 you need to set the security settings at least on 'middle' to be able to launch the macros.

The examples use the ActiveBarcode object (ActiveX)
Please keep in mind that these examples use the ActiveBarcode object, which is an ActiveX control. If the barcode does not show up or does not change, you may have deactivated the usage of ActiveX in your Office installation. You can change this at the Trust Center.
