First beware, there are several kinds of barcodes. I like "3 of 9" (or 39) because it is simple.

You can

- draw black rectangles (with Rectangle() API) following the standards of the barcode, which is something that is not very difficult to do.

- write text (using DrawText() or ExtTextOut() API) using a font for barcodes (with CreateFont(), SelectFont() API). Free true type fonts for barcodes are easy to find and to download from the internet.
