Hi All,

What is the best approach to disable Keyboard entry and allow only barcode scanned entry mode only.

I am out of ideas after trying to use a hidden entry field.

Please help out

Hello
I use time limit to finish barcode scan. There is no way user can type 11 numbers in 200ms.
 
Thanks,

I like your approach. I will try it out.

Uniglass,

Do you have a sample timer code. Should I place it on case event field() ?

I don't have access to code today. I think It was wery raw.

Code:
BCode      STRING(15)
ClearBCode BYTE
Armed      EQUATE(2)


---> WindowEvents AlertKey
IF len(clip(Bcode)) > 0 AND NOT ClearBCode  
 ClearBCode = TRUE
END

---> WindowEvents Timer (200ms)
IF ClearBCode 
   IF ClearBCode = Armed         ! clean on 2nd timer loop
      CLEAR(BCode)
      ClearBCode = FALSE
   ELSE
    ClearBCode = Armed   
   END
END



 
Thanks, Tried the code and worked like a charm.

I just had to do some little change.

Many thanks again
