Barcode Application

I need to integrate a barcode scanner to an existing application. Current, when a new order prints, users get a pop up where they need to enter a confirmation code that is printed on the order. I need a way to speed up the process. My guess is that printing a barcode on the order would do that. ## Deliverables Rent A Coder requirements notice: As originally posted, this bid request does not have complete details.

For this project you can assume that the barcodes are already printed on the order. This project is only about scanning in the barcodes. I am aware of scanners that connect to the keyboard port. I don't need programmers for that. However, I want an idiot proof solution that would not require the focus to be on a text box. Possible solutions: - program the scanner to generate a specific sequence of character whenever it scans something. That in turn would be intercepted by some listner which in turn would capture the codes and send the info to the host program. - serial port scanner to do the equivalent as above. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Friday Feb 25, 2005 12:36:36 PM: The host application is written in c#. ## Platform win 98, 2000, XP etc.
