MagTek MSR , Magnetic Swipe Reader
-
I'm working with the Magnetic Swipe Reader of MagTek (PN-21065140). Couldn't get a proper CSharp Sample or demo application. I hope this runs in a Keyboard Emulator so it reads the data if any Textbox , Notepad , wordpad and so are opened. I need a proper way of working with this swipe. That is to fire an event to detect if card is swiped. To get the card data and Track Number. If someone could give me ideas, Samples to work with it would be great. Thanks in advance.

it always bothers me slightly when someone says 'couldn't get a demo' - any properly sourced piece of kit should come with drivers and/or demos and/or a pointer to the website MagTek have a lot of resources on their website, for example http://www.magtek.com/support/software/demo_programs/usb_swipe_insert.asp[^] http://www.magtek.com/support/software/demo_programs/card/usb_hid_swipe_readers/usb_hid_swipe_readers.asp[^] http://www.magtek.com/docs/99875205.pdf[^] It seems it will work in both Keyboard and 'HID' modes (the pdf reference shows how to change) "That is to fire an event to detect if card is swiped" .. hmm, you may only get that if you're using it in HID mode as opposed to keyboard mode

Thank you Garth. Actually thats a mistake of using the word "Couldn't". I meant that i couldn't get a working C# Code from their website. Thanks a lot for your Suggestion. Is there a way i could trigger an event when a card gets swiped. If so that would give the solution i'm looking for. Thanks in advance.
