Bar Code Scanning

siobi said:
but how to implement the scanning part?
file I/O?
any sample? or tutorial?

Scanning bar code is very easy, you can also scan through an actual scanned image which has a barcode and use VisionShapes Bar code reader class to go through the full page and get the value of the barcodes as string output.

Scanning can be done through tradional scanners or scanners ment for barcodes attached to ur PC :D
 
sorry to bring this post back alive but I need a little help with a scanner app...

OK the scanners that seem to be talked about in this thread are keyboard scanners (where the keyboad cable is a Y and both plug into it so yes it is just keyboard input)

My question is I have a serial scanner so I can read in from the port but how do I stuff that into the keyboard buffer?????

My other post:::

What Im trying to do is write an app that reads in from the serial port and then output to the keyboard buffer (basically I need it to output to whatever application is foreground, I am using a serial scanner to output to a different app ) I have a app that I made that checks the comm ports but I am lost when it comes to the output any help would be great
Thanks
