Hi, I am building a Visual Basic

Hi,

I am building a Visual Basic application that will use both the keyboard and a barcode scanner for user input. Is there a way that my application can discern which input device was used? I would like for the application to know which input device was used after each entry.


Thanks,

If your scanner allows you at add a suffix so when it send the data it appends something on the end of it. Then you inspect it for that character and strip off.

If Right(myData) = "x" then
'it came from the scanner
end if

If it's a barcode scanner between keyboard and computer,
then it's very simple.


Private Sub text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

If KeyCode = vbKeyF2 Or KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then

endif
endsub
