Bar Code Scanner

[Kegraus]

Bar Code Scanner connected like keyboard. I can see scanned data on the Front Panel, but can't use it until Enter key pressed.

Is there a way to use it without hitting "Enter"?

Thank you

Program your barcode scanner to append an Enter character to the end of the scan.

Hello,

Or you can right click the indicator and select "update while typing".

If a value change event is configured for the control, this would cause an event to fire for every letter.  This may/may not be desirable.

Programming the scanner would be the best, but if that's not possible, update while typing is better then blindly polling the string value.

Of course bar code scanner can often also be read through a (virtual) serial port. Doesn't really change much, you'd still want an enter after each scan, or you'll have to poll data.

Thank you. This is good way.
