Yes Branden, when i was exploring and searching contents over forums for related stuffs, I saw your mails and responses too. I'm aware of those and also i tried to implement them and test them. Unfortunately they didn't work at all in my situation. After that I was just busy with the customization of POS screens and all, so i couldn't continue with it.
I wish you all the success for your works and experiments towards it because if you'll get success, it'll be a great news for all of us who are waiting for a remedy.
