----------------------------------------------------------- From: manasvin Message 2 in Discussion First of all I wouldnt advise you to go about this from an architectural design perspective. Im my opinion a Desktop based app would be more efficient and stable to do barcode scanning solutions. Either ways I am assuming that the barcode scanner will be attached to machine the webform (i.e. in a browser) will be launched on. In which case HTML or javascript will not be able to interact with your barcode scanner. It also depends on the features or toolkit of your BARcode scanner. Some provide keyboard macro support i.e. The Barcode will be read and and the id/number will be sent to the keyboard buffer and typed, as if typed by the keyboard. If this is the case then it might be just be a task of placing the input focus (keyb cursor) in the text box when you are scanning the barcode. after the number is typed the onchange events can trigger the rest of the processing on the webform page. **** Having some experience with barcode scanner apps -> I would strongly advise you to do this on a LAN based Intranet Webform. ******* If your barcode doesnot support the psuedo typing feature then you need write a component i.e. activex legacy or activex using .net which once launched would interact with the barcode scanner using either thje event system or apis/com controls provided by your barcode manufacture's toolkit.
