Hi All
I need to write a program to read input from barcode scanner.
The program is for a gym and needs to detect when a card is scanned
regardless of which program is currently running ont he computer. e.g the
operator might be typing a letter and a member swipes his card.
I am convinced I need to write the card reader section as a Windows Service,
so it is active always?
Do I watch for card reader input on a timer loop or is their an event I can
use?
Sorry for being vague, but I am new to bar code readers
I am using Vb net 2003 and the program will run on a PC with WindowsXP home
Regards
Steve
