[RESOLVED] datalogic scorpio scanner is bussy

Hi

Im developing application for datalogic scorpio gun, and i have one problem. While im in application and testing with it there is no problem, barcode scanner is working great, but when i exit program and try to run other programs, which are using barcode reader, it says that scanner is busy. Laser beam change color when i try to read code, so that mean that there is some software failure i think..

Anyone know if there is some command to maybe reset barcode reader or sometnig like that.

Any suggestion would be helpful

I would guess your application is not exiting properly, due to objects not being disposed.

You can check this by running a task manager and seeing if your app is still in memory.

You can get a freeware one from FDCSoft here

I tried to close it with application.exit and also me.close, and there is no diference (end command is not working).
Is there any other way to close it?

Hi,
as I said before, you must not be disposing of something you are using, possibly the scanner control or something.

Are you creating something as 'new' and not disposing of it - that is what I suspect.

hi

il try to fix it in monday(i dont bring my work to home :)), but its nice to know at least where to look. Il probably make new form and just copy/paste code, only problem is that i must copy file in device after any change.

O and one more question for those who know something about datalogic devices. When i connect device via usb its stay connected for about 2 - 3 minutes, after that it automaticly throw out connection. Any suggestion?

Problem solved

I have downloaded task manager and it was true, it looks like i didnt end application properly.

I figured out that when i have one form, everything is working great, problem is when i have two or more forms. I tried everything but it didnt work, so i made program with only one form, where i used panels instead forms. I resize panels and change locations on events, laser works great, and there sre no problems when i exit application.

So thanks for help

Hi,
you were possibly closing form2, but not disposing of it - that would give you a problem
