This might be a lame answer: Isn't barcodes just some kind of a font like this? Then I guess you could write the same code you usually use to draw text, but with the barcode font instead.

[Code o mat]

You mean you want an application that generates barcodes OR you want to genereate a "barcode application", which could both mean that it can create OR read barcodes (thorough some input device like a webcam, a scanner or a barcode reader connected to the comp). Both should be possible. To generate barcodes you can either use a barcode font as someone already suggested, or you can try to check out how barcodes work (there are loads of infoes about it on the net, Google is your friend...) and write your own method of generation, also there are some libraries i believe around the net for such a purpose. Reading barcodes thorough a webcam or such input device is a much more problematic task. Good luck.
