hello everyone, i have a question about retrieving data from a bar code
reader plugged in keyboard port (ps/2)
i really dont know how to retrieve data from keyboard, i tried some methods
but all i could get was getting key values like "F7 key", or "Shift key"...
can someone tell me how to retrieve data from a bar code scanner please? or
at least how to retrieve data from ps/2 keyboard... maybe a handle or so...
thanx for reading this post and thanx so MUCH for helping.. have a nice day.

i will try that but i dot think so....
'cuz when i read a code from the scanner, as far as i see it invokes the
keypress events..., i wrote a program which listens keypress events and i
see that it presses some buttons depends on the code..
buttons like F7, Esc, Enter.... i tink thats because the operating system or
the keypress event doesnt know how to handle data sent from the scanner... i
need to write a new keypress event handler.. thanx for helping anyway..

This was some time ago but one thing we did was established how many
characters were coming in from the barcode and placed a non-visible textbox
on the screen. On a valuechange check the length, if the barcode reader is
done then you can evaluate the entire string.
An other thing you may want to take into account is make sure once you
process your keystrokes you "throw them away" so the OS and framework don't
process them. Keys like ESC and F11 have special meanings sometimes and if
you let them continue the OS will get hold of them and do funny things.
IIRC returning "false" from the keystroke handler means they don't get
passed on. But then you have to make sure you are not trapping "real" keys
some body pressed.

well, if you are using a PS/2 bar code reader, it emulates the keyboard.
it doesn't store the scanned code -- it acts as if you have typed it over
the keyboard.
all you can do actually is think of it as if an user is writing it down.
try these:
- create a text box and place a focus to it - everything scanned will be
written directly inside it
- on any control that supports keypress event (e.g. form) - write a handler
and analyze the
KeyPressEventAr gs arguments that are passed to it

Hi all,
I have an application that uses input from a barcode reader via a USB
port. My application works fine only if the application HAS FOCUS.
If the user opens up another application (not mines) such as
notepad/word, etc, the Barcode Reader reads data into the applicaton
that currently has focus with is notepad/word but not my own
applicaton.
My question is as follows: Is there a way to write a Listener

I assume that when I use a barcode reader (at least some of them) it will
input the number as though it was entered in via the keyboard
How can I then get the value without setting to focus to a textbox control I
don't want the user to see the scanned number but I still need a way to read
the value, in addition, I need an event that will be fired once the barcode
was read in full so I know it actually finished reading
Thank you,

Hi everyone,
I am searching for a python library for barcode recognition. We have
developed a rather complex application for document tracking and
document management in python/Zope, called PAFlow (www.paflow.it:
sorry, most of the information is in Italian...).
As our project is completely free software, we will need a library that
is free software too.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
