Re: code for handheld scanner into vb 6 application

Most barcode readers are very simple to intergrate into vb programs.

Start new project, add a text box to the form, and run the project (or just start notepad).
Scan something (if using project make sure text box has focus).



Good Luck

scanners do the same thing as a keyboard. read from the barcode and places the text in the program. thats about it

Not all are the same. If they are a serial/rs232 connected scanner, they don't work in this way and will require either a device driver, or as ithelp said, some guidance from the vendor to know how to link with the device.
