I haven't done 2D barcodes, but traditional ones are easy. Just make sure the scanner can operate in keyboard-wedge mode and it will act like a keyboard. You will need to test it to see what terminating character it sends and then check for that and when it arrives, operate on the complete code. I have a barcode reader test stack on my web site <http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/BarcodeTester.rev>. as well as a stack to generate Code 128 barcodes <http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/Barcodes.rev>, which needs a Code128 font to display them correctly. -- Cheers, Sarah Rodeo discussion: http://rodeoapps.com/rodeo-discuss-among-yourselves _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
