How can we program thing with a system bar code?
theres a vb control that does it...is it possible to look at the code in the vb ocx? thats the only thing I'd know to check for bar codes.
You can use a font for it...
that sounds a little easier ;)
The problem with scan is that it have many scan fonts, how can I get the information of the scan(#1) and how can I translate it(#2)?
Most scanners plug into the keyboard port, so when you scan a barcode, it interprets it the way you've configured it (normally by "teaching" it from the manual) and sends a readable string to the keyboard port.
All you need to do is find out which one got configured, then find a truetype font for that. They *are* available, somewhere....
