Need suggestions on using a barcode scanner as a input device
-
I'm attempting to tackle a problem I have no experience with. Does anyone know a good resource where that I can use to be able to interface with a barcode scanner in order to navigate a application. (The application I'm creating has mouse or keyboard input devices, only a barcode reader. It will ONLY allow a user to scan an object and progress/navigate throughout the application by means of a barcode reader.) Any ideas? :confused: shannon

If you are using scanner with keyboard interface, its just as simple as typing from a keyboard. Use notepad, scan a barcode, the data read will be displayed in the notepad. Hope it helps :->
There is no keyboard input. The user is using a industry barcode scanner to vehicle parts. The scanner is th only input device. Any ideas? Shannon

How does it interface with PC? is it RS232? or does it have additional peripheral like PCI Interface cards? . . . . In that case, I think you should be contacting the "Barcode Scanner Vendor" regarding the drivers or commands you will use to communicate with the machine. If it is via RS232, try it with "Microsoft Comm Control", but still u need to know the commands you will be sending to the machine. Hope it helps.
