Hi!

Is it possible that the presence of #02 and/or #03 in the string read by scanner cause the code read not to be showed in the corresponding edit box?
I see 2 possibilities here. As below:

1. The string read by the scanner is not pssed to edit box

2. The string read by the scanner is passed to the edit box but it remains in blank 'cause of special characters #02 and/or #03.

In your opinion, wich is the most probable possibility in this case?

I confess I didn't consider the item 2 above...

Cheers

Depends on each model. There should be some kind of program to set the scanner config Usually tap button Windows, on the applications screen select Settings, then there should be a program specific to the hardware having a barcode icon of so. ---> In my application user must see the code scanned. Are you suggesting that I can't see the code because I wait the input in a TEdit? No, it seems that the characters from the scaaner are not sent to the wright place If I use a TLabel it will be showed? You can"t manage to use a direct input as the TLabel is not input capable. You can only change the caption by assignment ---> What is the exactly use of this event in this case? set MyForm.KeyPreview to True; set MyForm.OnKeyPress to an event (i.e. MyFormKeyPress) procedure TMyForm.FormKeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: char); begin case Ord(Key) of {$IFDEF WIN32} Ord('>'), // this helps to simulate on Win32 {$ENDIF} Ord(#03): begin // aka EOT Key := #0; try if Scann.Buffer = EmptyStr then Exit; codebarre := scann.buffer; ... ... do whatever has to be done with the scannes barcode ... finally Scann.Reset; Scann.Reading := False; end end; {$IFDEF WIN32} Ord('<'), // this helps to simulate on Win32 {$ENDIF} Ord(#02): begin // aka STX Scann.Reset; Key := #0; // ignore key Scann.Reading := True; end else begin Scann.Buffer := Scann.Buffer + Key; Key := #0; // ignore key end end end; I open a nem porject in Lazarus 1.0 RC1(Is the only one I have in this machine in my work) and can't find the KeyPreview event. see above -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus at lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
