justsomeguy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Why do you keep making new threads for this issue? You need to keep this discussion to one thread. Like I said in some other thread about this, you need to figure out which events the barcode scanner causes to trigger. You can use those events to do what you want to do.
