Re: getting data from BAR CODE READER

The company that I work for sells a serial communications program called the Software Wedge that you may find to be a good tool for interfacing a bar code reader to your application. The Software Wedge is an executable program that can pass serial data back and forth to other programs using either DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) or by converting incoming serial data to keystrokes (i.e. it stuffs the keyboard buffer with the incoming serial data). The program is extremely easy to use and is designed to have you up and running sending and receiving serial data directly from within your application in just a few minutes.
It offers a great deal of control over how and where data is entered in your application so you should not have any problems. The only catch is that your bar code reader must have RS232 output. Please visit http://www.taltech.com for more information.
