Is there any Visual Basic SDK that will let me scan a barcode from a webcam, not an image? I have seen some that read from files, but this is not what I am looking for. If possible, I would love it if this is free!
View 2 RepliesI am using Richard L. Grier's Enhanced Serial Port dll to read input from a serial port barcode scanner I notice that the datareceived event fires only once per barcode scan, but the delegate sub fires twice per barcode scan. Once for 1st half of Barcode , 2nd for 2nd part of barcode This makes it hard to capture the full barcode so it can be passed to routines in my vb.net 2008 windows application In Richard's example 'Test Enhanced Port' program he sends it to a textbox using .selectedtext and it works fine Richards Delegate code ......................
Public Delegate Sub DisplayData(ByVal Buffer As String)
'This delegate routine marshals receive data from the receive thread context DataReceived to the Windows Form STAThread context
Private Shared Sub Display(ByVal Buffer As String)
[code]....
I am trying to set a variable to the full barcode to pass to routines, instead of writing to a textbox but am not having any success
I am a student and I am about to make a program that will use a barcode scanner well ofcourse to scan a barcode. My problem is i don't know what library to use and what certain things i need to do so that when i am going to scan a barcode it'll be something like show it on a textbox and pull something from the database. i've actually research some. i've seen mscomm1 (not so sure about that) and POS for .net (haven't fully understood its use) were those will help me develop my program?i have a metrologic ms9520 Voyager barcode scanner. and i am going to create a program for it in vb2005.
View 1 RepliesI am writing an inventory control application in which a barcode scanner will be hooked up to a laptop computer in our shipping/receiving department. What I'm wondering is, whenever a shipment comes in and the receiving clerk starts scanning the products, what exactly do I need to do in order to setup our database so that the scanner recognizes which vendor/product etc. and puts the data in the correct tables. I've written inventory control apps before but never one that incorporated the use of a barcode scanner.

And however, my barcode scanner cannot read the hard copy barcode images that i have printed out as the following.[url]...
I have done research and some articles mention that dimension of the images will effect the readability of the barcode.
May i know what is the correct dimension to make my barcode images to be readable?
We are using USB barcode scanner to scan material barcode labels. These labels are from our vendors. We does not have control over the label generation. We are using USB barcode scanner for scanning purpose. We want to capture USB barcode scanner output. Normally the scanner returns output in the place holder in which the cursor present.But we do not put writable text box for the cursor. Instead of write allowable text box we want to put locked or readonly text box in the screen and want to capture scanner value.How can we do?Assume that our barcode scanner does not support serial ports.
View 6 RepliesI want to use barcode system in my vb project. Can sombody help me on
1) What type of barcode scanner should I use?
2) Where should I start on VB code or where should I refer to?
I've recently been asked to develop an application for the Motorola MK4000, an all-in-one device with a built-in barcode scanner. It runs Windows CE and supports VB.Net.
I've never written an application for Windows CE, nor using a barcode scanner.
I'm familiar with VB.NET so I'm confident I can figure this out, how to use the barcode scanner with possibly some example code of how to detect it and read data from it.
I have built many applications that work with a barcode reader. What I need now is a means to reading the scanned item through a background services such as a windows services or something.My task is to scan a barcode on a identification label that is placed on a cut size of glass and record the order line item as being processed. This will update the database to reflect the cut size has been completed.My restriction is the processes keeps an application showing a cut pattern of the stock sheet of glass in focus so I can not have another application active to capture the scanners results. Here in lies where I have to have a application running in the background listening for a text or alpha-numeric string that will tell the application to run the scan.

View 1 RepliesI am building a POS app with a barcode scanner that auto-return( = pressing keyboard's enter key) after each scan. I need to handle this event by processing the scanned barcode against my items database table. I am using the scanner in keyboard wedge mode so I selected a textbox control to collect the scanned barcode, clear cache and ready to collect another barcode data from scanner. I have tried all the changed events I know on text boxes but I dont get the desired result, I cant clear cache and my cusor wont remain in the text box! I have used the keypress, keydown, textChanged and Enter methods, in most cases I got only the first digit in the barcode.

View 4 RepliesI'm building an application that reads barcode scanning data into multiple forms and textboxes. At the moment, to handle that data I have created a large nested if statement that checks to see which object has focus so that the scanned data is placed there and focus moves down to the next object:
Private Sub HandleData(ByVal TheReaderData As Symbol.Barcode.ReaderData)
'Scanning Data into frmGetCount
If frmName.Name = "frmGetCount" Then

This is just for one of 5 forms I am currently developing. I am looking for a way to make this code much more dynamic and re-usable by removing the hard-coded objects name

View 6 RepliesI have a USB bar code scanner that is acting as an HID keyboard emulation device. I want a web page that, for testing purposes, pops up a JavaScript alert when a scan is done. I don't want to tie the event to any visible control such as a textbox so thus, I won't have focus on any control to capture the scan input. Can this be done? I'm using VS 2010 with .NET 4.0 and VB.NET with a Symbol USB bar code scanner.
View 1 RepliesI have a program that reads a barcode scanner to populate a field of a database, I should say that that specific program is a standard application and I can't modify it.
The issue I am having is that the computer must have the focus on that program and in the capture screen for the barcode scanner to function properly. I would like for the PC to be able to do other things and at the moment the barcode is used it directed the scan to the proper window. The window for the program may be oppened but not necesarily have the focus.
I know how to catch the input from the scanner, but what can I do to send the data to the other program?
=I have textbox1, textbox2, command button1.
Textbox1 is the general console.
Textbox2 is the barcode field.
Commandbutton1 is the confirm button.
Scenario:
When scanner scaned a barcode, it will appear in the textbox2, when click on the commandbutton, it then add to the textbox1.
My problem is, when I scaned the second item, it can appear in the textbox2, but when I click on the commandbutton it then replace the previous item in the textbox1.
How can I make the textbox1 keeping all the record, and when everytime click on the commandbutton1, it appear in the next line in textbox1 rather than keep replacing the first data?
I've got a lose focus textbox which when data in entered and the tab key is hit the code is executed as expected and a message box appears informing the user of the outcome. However when I used a barcode scanner with a tab function embedded, the code is executed and the data is inserted into a database but the textbox to say if the request was successfully completed or not does not show as expected.

I am developing a Winforms application which read barcode from barcode scanner. It's an Human wedge scanner. This will work if I placed the cursor in any textbox or notepad. But i don't want like that. Reason is that it's cordless scanner. If some want to scan some thing in store they will move around, so there is possibility of screen saver coming or system gets locked if that happens the barcodes wont capture, but the user who is scanning the barcodes won't know this thing.
So i am reading the data using serial port communication and my scanner sending the data character by character, Not a whole string. so for that I wrote the following code. Thsi code will works if i am writing to any textbox. But it is not working if want to store it in any global string. Only first character is storing in the string. The below code is working perfectly fine. but if want to save the string in Global String variable instaed of textbox the only first character in the string is storing.
