Differentiating Bar Code Entry To Keyboard Entry?
Jul 11, 2009
I am trying to make a program with a bar code reader for the first time. I want to differentiate a bar code entry to keyboard entry. My questions: 1. Does bar code reader generate a keydown (or keypress) event for each of the digits of the entry? For example, if the barcode read: 1234567890, does that mean that there will be 10 keydown (or keypress) events for that single barcode that was read?
2. I have read from the posts that the best way to differentiating keyboard vs bar code input is to analyse the time between keystroke (for less than certain number of milliseconds).

What is the code for ignoring the case of an entry while checking to see if the entry is correct or not... (i.e. in a flashcard program... given definition, asks for the name) I don't want the case of a character to affect whether the answer is correct or not.

All I want to do is to stop my application at a certain point, wait until a certain key is pressed - say for example the space bar, then continue execution. How simple is that! Any other normal programming language, this would take me a few secs - but not VB2008

i am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb but,if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.

I use VB in VS2010..My form has a textbox..I can control the keyboard entry by using the SuppressKeyPress method..However this does not work for the Menu key - I think it's the menu key - the one that looks like a combo with an arrow.This produces a large drop-down menu which I don't want.On checking various forums it appears that the following code should work..[code]

I am new to VB8 upgrading from VB4.I have lots to learn, but am having a problem.I wrote a simple program with two buttons on the GUI.One is for execution and other is for clearing old data.When I enter code data in the button for execution, it also repeats in the code block for clearing the screen.The same happens when I enter code in the screen clearing object, it will repeat in the execution object.Also when I double click on the objects from the design form for button2, I see a reference to button1 in the code area.The same thing has happened when I click on button1, I will see reference to button2 in the code ara.

I am trying to create the code which will stop duplicate entry of an Account Number being entered in the column 'Account Number'. The user is to input an account number (three digit account number i.e 153) using an input box and this will then be printed into the A column.What is the best way to prevent duplicate account numbers being entered?
The code I have for the input/account number array so far is:

CODE:
That code works to read the entry data and to recognise the correct data, and the incorrect. However, even if entry is correct, the error msgbox will appear (x times of how many records there are in file), despite being navigated to the menu. Anyway that the Else isn't triggered when data is correct. Also for it to appear just one instead of (x times of how many records there are in file.)

Table1:
RecordID , Integer = primary key auto_increment NOT NULL

The two records are added to table2 But if I execute the stament a second time get the following message: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 I now i must do something with "duplicate key update" in the Insert statement.

i know it might be impossible to achieve (as i've been reading from another articles) but does anyone know how to set a dll entry point in VB.net project? I have created a VB.net dll and trying to call that dll from cobol (unmanaged code). in Cobol, i can only use the entry point statement to call VB.net dll (cannot add reference to it). as consequence, i'm getting "called program not found" (or in VB error is equal to "can't find dll entry point")

I have a form with textboxes for entering data. One of the textboxes is for entering a value that is always one character. How can I make the cursor automatically jump to the next control when a character has been entered? I'm thinking the key press and release event and then set focus but is there a better way?
