Yes, they do. I know this from personal experience myself.

I'm talking more along the lines of a web interface detecting the fact that 
something has been scanned in the first place.

Without any user action other than the scanning of a barcode.

  As far as I know most barcode scanners look like keyboards.  No personal 
experience, but that's what I've gathered.

    We have a central application and hardware that we want to enhance with a 
USB barcode scanner. A global design goal is for the application to post data 
to a new page as soon as a scan is performed, without user action.

    Javascript and hidden fields have their limitation in this respect, so I am 
thinking along the lines of ActiveX here. Just wanted to see if anyone here has 
done something similar.
