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 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)

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'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'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.

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()

View 7 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.

View 5 RepliesI bought acheap USB barcode reader so i could play around with some hypothetical situations. I've managed to get a good chunk of stuff worked out, and had alot of fun along the way. But i thought to myself what if the same tag is passed back along the chain due to production defects and requires remaking.
When it returns to the station to be retagged complete, how do i set the condition for it to search to see if the bar code string already exists in the database prior to either adding a new row (if if returns negative) or to append a cell in the table if the search retuens a positive result.
