I don't think it is possible. You would have to find a bar-code font for
your display device, somehow trigger the use of that font in the
appropriate place(s) from your VPLUS form. You would also have the problem
of printing the bar-code on your printer. You could transmit the screen as
a bit-mapped image to your printer, otherwise you will also have to install
a bar-code font on the printer as well.
