if you can invest some time in understanding the java code, here are 2 links to open source barcode projects, The documentation can certainly help you debelop/port the barcode creation algo into C++.

I generate barcode like I print strings of characters, except that I use a special font. For instance, in C:

hfont = CreateFont(18, 0, 0, 0, 0,
            0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "3 of 9 Barcode"); // specify a bar font
hfont_old = (HFONT) SelectObject(hdc, hfont); // select the font

TextOut(hdc, x, y, "*123456789*", 11); // print the barcode

SelectObject(hdc, hfont_old);
DeleteObject(hfont);

There are several fonts available.
I use "3 of 9", also called "39", because it is free and simple. With 39, the string of digits should start and end with stars (see the code above). With some other fonts, some checksum are needed.
