Capture Barcode From Background In VB 2010?
Jun 6, 2011
I'm looking to create a program which will run in the background, but will capture any data input by a barcode scanner. Since barcode scanners work more or less as keyboards (I'm not familiar with the specifics of the implementation, but my reading and their behaviour suggests this) my plan was to simply capture all keypresses and look for a distinctive pattern (sequence of numbers entered in improbably fast succession).
I'm a little concerned, however, about the fact that this will require holding up keypresses until I confirm a match. The holdup will probably be barely noticable, but it's still not ideal. My quesetion is: is there any better means of implementation than simple key and pattern detection, for example detecting that the keypresses originate from a barcode scanner?

I'm feeling frustrated. I have spent hours looking for a good piece of code to capture the keypress events in any windows no matter if my application is focused or not. I need to create an application to work in the background to capture the F5 key. Does anyone have any code?

I 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.

So i bought a cheap USB barcode scanner to play around with. So far pretty simple to use, on theing thats baffling me though is after the keyUp event and the string parsing, how do i reset the value of the textbox that reads the string to make it wait for a new keyup event. Eventually i'm going to try adding rows to tables and autocompleting cell values based on the parsed string. So what would be the best way to start looking at this?

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 have to read a 2D barcode that's encoded with base256. When I scan the barcode, it sends different characters as it comes from the keyboard and it changes the focus, turns visual studio in full screen, give the command to send to printer from notepad++. I guess it reads ALT + TAB, CTRL + P, ALT + SHIFT, etc. and i can't capture all the bytes from the barcode. I tried to capture the event on textbox KeyPress method with e.handled = True and e.keyChar added to the bytes()

And still failed under win7.Is there any good link where I can get some info to work with regarding to web cam capture...I tried also Avicap.dll?

I'm trying to find a way where i can make it loop through the results of my capture group regex query.
For instance if i have this:
VB.NET
Dim matches = Regex.Matches("<h1><span>test</span></h1>", "(?<=<h1>(<span>)?)(?<data>.+)(?=(</span>)?</h1>)")For Each item In matches.OfType(Of Match)()Console.WriteLine(item.Value)Next
And i'm trying to get the contents of <data>, how do i do it without it printing out the junk before it and after it?
quantifier isn't working, its supposed to make the <span> tag optional in the query, but it isn't.

I'm trying to make a rs232 serial data logging program, that accepts a 12 bit hex RFID tagID from an RFID module. My end objective is to save this RFID tagID into a database and assigned to a person for a personnel management system.I had to use button3 to add the value of the variable 'msg' into textbox1 because I was getting the following error "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TextBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on". It is a temporary workaround.When I do press button3, I get the incomplete hex number, instead of "4C00A2C82A0C", I get "A2C82A0C", and sometimes I get random digits like 1,A,C etc etc.
Public Sub OpenPort()
Try
If SerialPort1.IsOpen Then

So I am hacking together an app which listens to traffic using SharpPcap library, it reconstructs the packets from sessions using the code from TpcRcon.
Listening and reconstructing part work on their own . What I want is on each packet arrival main window gets an event so it can display the packet , and when session is reconstructed display a complete packet (I am interested in HTTP ones) . -That is where it breaks with weird symptoms: for example right now it does not stop on invoking stop listening method - the sharppcap library function hangs there forever waiting on this line of code : m_pcapThreadEvent.WaitOne();//wait for the 'stopped' signal from thread
I also had it not working and crashing in sharppcap function because I had omitted one parameter in form delegate- which makes no sense, because form delegate does not deal with packet capture at all and only reacts on "New Packet" event from my "Listener" class (which is only there to notify main form)
My app starts as module main instancing class "Listener". MainForm has it
registered as friend with event and handles even "New Packet"
Main Form:
Private Sub uiListenStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btListenStart.Click
aLogger.AddMessage("Started Listening")

is it possible to call another program in the background? I'n doing a project that uses .net to control a camera. the camera is nikon, which has a sdk. unfortunately, the sdk is an unmanaged dll, from the research I did, people complained that it is difficult to use it in .net. actually, no1 has example. but the sdk has sample in vc++. so, I'm thinking maybe can build the control program by vc++, then use vb.net or c# to it and run it in the background. so, I do not have to mess the dll to .net.
is this a good choice? or, not really? how to do it? if I use a console program, how to avoid popping up the cmd window?

I don't really understand background workers much but would like to be able to use them in my programs, could someone give me an example with some good notes to help me understand how I might use the background worker with around 10 threads just to handle something simple like a math problem.

I would like to have my application basically appear as if it was part of the desktop background, I've removed the form border etc and made the background colour of the form the same as our standard company background so it all blends in nicely. I have also made it so the app does not appear in the toolbar and it is set to launch on startup so it appears as soon as the user logs in - so all works fine and looks fine because any new apps that the user opens will open on top of my app. The only problem is that if they press the Show Desktop button (or use Windows Key + D) to minimize all apps, mine gets minimized as well and disappears. Its easy enough to get the user to make it appear again as it has a system tray icon that they can interact with, but it would be better if it just didn't vanish when they did this.Now I know the best thing for this on Windows 7 would be a Gadget but the problem is that Gadget's annoyingly have to be HTML/javascript and a) I'm not great with web coding and b) I don't think it is even possible to do what my app does from a HTML/javascript page... oh and c) I can't find any way to deploy gadgets in a business network (there is no way we are installing it manually on all 300 of our PCs), so the gadget idea is not looking very promising.I'm wondering if there is some window message I can capture and ignore in the WndProc event handler
