I am planning to buy a USB barcode reader. I don't want to use it as a keyboard wedge scanner.But before I do I wonder if it's possible to see whether the input comes from a barcode reader.I need a Windows Service that detects whether a barcode is scanned and depending on the text on the barcode starts another program.Is this possible and has anyone experience with this?

View 12 RepliesI 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.
I'm looking at creating an asset management system for all our electrical equipment, the equipment already have security labels with barcodes on them. What I am wanting is to be able to do is create a form where i can state some general information about the piece of equipment and then scan a barcode to register the equipments security number. so that if an employee needs to use that piece of equipment off site then I can just scan the barcode and register that the employee has taken the equipment.
My understanding is that the barcode reader is generally plug and play and acts as an input device? So what I would need to do is find a way to identify which input device is used, and if it is the reader find a way to assign a labels text to the value that has been read, rather that insert it into a textbox? I also want to display the actual barcode itself above the label, so I assume I would need to re-generate the barcode as an image and then display the image?
Im creating an EPOS system and nearing the end of the application.I need to connect my newly acquired barcode reader to the form in vb.net so that whenever I scan an item in the items ID number appears in the necessary textbox.After some research I have bought the relevant barcode reader making sure it supports the relevant barcodes including retail.I have plugged it into the computer through the usb port, it has installed automatically all of the relevant drivers, and below is the code Im using in vb.The below code is include for where the form loads up:Me.KeyPreview = True

I tried to configure my barcode reader to act as a keyboard wedge but it didn't work. (I'm using Metrologic Voyager MS9520) I figured out that the scanner still uses the serial port RS232. So i tried to use the MS Communication Control in VB 2005.

View 2 RepliesI 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 3 Repliesi 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 have a txtbox(for barcode).. if i input a item number in that txtbox and if that number will match in your database, the other information(shall we say, product type, item ID, etc..) will display in my other txtboxes..
View 5 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 ......................

How do I determin if a user has given me what I am asking for in terms of data type.
Example if my prompt to the user say "Give me a number of double data type"
How can I tell that the user entered a double xx.yy?
Or if I am testing for integers and I get user input ABC.GH?
I know about CDbl and CInt and CStr but these don't work unless data is provided. Also how do you test if the conversion took place? Also how do you differencate between 12.00 being integer?
Make a folder, based on an input file - example :
You have a file named Movie1.avi on your desktop, u open up the program (that I want to make) and then simply drag drop that file into a box area, and then the program will create a folder, with the same name as the input file, but without the extension (folder name Movie1) and then automatically put that file into the folder it just created.
The new folder will be created in the same dir as the input file.
Multiple file support - is NOT needed.
I know how it will be done, but I don't know the code..
