JotaPey Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I am working on a project where I would like the operator to scan a barcode to input data into several fields. If I enable the USB for HID Device I can get the barcode to scan into a field, but only when I first touch that field to open the on-screen keyboard (and oddly enough I have to press a key on the keyboard before the scanner will fill in the field). I am wanting the operator to be able to initiate these inputs without touching the screen first. I have logic written using the COM Rx function, followed by Copy Buffer to Tag. When online, I can see the scanned data in the buffer field, but no data is filling in the desired field. I'm not sure if I need to somehow key focus onto the field I want. Also, after the first scan I would like to be able to automatically focus on the next field where the buffer will be copied to. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted December 18, 2018 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 You need to assign numbers to the fields and embed that number in the barcode for sorting. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pista Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hello, you have a version of the system higher than 1.23.25? Before version 1.23.25 all HID devices have logged in as a keyboard! I use the LS2208 scanner and it works ok. For inspiration I send some data. Barcodereader.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
