Let's say there are two applications are running, which are A and B, on windows XP and they all have only one simple form with a text box to receive a data from the scanner. Is it possible to read a number by the scanner and write the number for those two text box on A and B at the same time?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to write a 'simple' program with vs 2005 that recognises my specific usb memory stick so that I can make windows log off or 'lock' when the device is not in any slot. I have found some ready code and I am trying to modify it for my needs. There compiling works but when it doesnt find any of the usb ports.It works by checking each port if it is a usb port and then compares the vendor and produck ID to the given. it seems simple enough but I cant get it to find the USB.
Here is the code:
I'm trying to access a device with modbus in VB or C#. I've been searching all over for a simple way to do it. I know that It would be connecting through a TCP Connection, and I know the address of the device. I need to read the input on it (whether of not it's on), and to toggle the relay on it as well.

View 2 RepliesI need to know, how can we attach an USB to any device and detach an USB. I'm using VB 2008 version. I need to write a code for usb detach and attach in windows xp. Whenever usb is detach from the PC side, i should get a message in command prompt saying that, USB is detached and if you insert an USB , then i should get a message saying that, usb attached.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use a datgridview as an input device and then transfer the input to variables (one or two dimensional). I am creating a programme that can be used for a widely divergent number if inputs and the grid would be easier for the user rather than me creating a lot of text boxes at design time which may not be required much of the time and a datagridview would probably be preferable.

I want to detect when a new usb-device (can be anything) is connected to the computer. I don't need to know what kind of device it is, I just want to know when it is plugged in.
I found this thread: [URL]
I know the solution is in here, but I'm overlooking it I'm afraid. What I want:
USB-device connected > Run function. USB-device disconnected > Run another function.
i'm kind of new to this. I'm using VB2008 and i need to write a code for recognizing a usb's details. like port number and letter and serial number if they have one. if i need to be more specific, then i have to say its for a machine that records data and i need to transfer that data over to my laptop through a gpib to usb cable. the cable has a specific "id" and i need to find that out and type it into the program interface that i'll make when i know how to detect that "id" so it can connect.i've read a few forum posts by others and they are really informative but not what i could use or i could not make it work.(yet)[URL]..and the other links posted there.for reading and helping. thats the clearest way i can explain. if anyone needs a more specific detail, just ask because i dont know if i left out anything else.

View 2 RepliesI've created a custom USB device using a PIC18F4550 and I'm having trouble with reading information from the device. The device sends reports without a request from the application as 64 bytes. I'm relatively new to VB and this is my first foray into USB as well... It's not going good. I've set the Vendor ID to Hex 1234 and the Hardware ID to Hex 0001. I've used different libraries and the timer to check for incoming reports, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've waded through pages of USB Complete and all kinds of code for mice and barcode scanners, but nothing so far that will do anything for my device.. how I can register the device and get the raw report from the device and display it in a text box
