Handheld Scanner without Textbox

[^^vampire^^]

Good Day All

I have a hand held barcode scanner (LXE MX8) which I'm making an ASP.Net website for. The standard functionality for scanning barcodes using a website is to have a textbox focused and then when you scan a barcode it populates the textbox with the barcode.

Does anyone know how to get the barcode without using a textbox?

Thanks!

Hello,

Hmmm, not that I am aware of, no. If you are using the barcode scanner straight onto the page, then the barcode has to go "somewhere". Typically, as you say, this is a TextBox, the standard input element on the page.

Is there a reason that you don't want to do it this way?
