I have a ps2 card reader installed between my keyboard and computer and wish to read magnetic strip cards with numbers on them.I am picking up the keypress event (with form.keypreview set to true) but am unable to read the numbers on the cards. Can someone please help me with code to read these numbers and to distinguish between keys pressed at the keyboard and numbers read from these cards.
When I swipe the card it adds code to my keypress event like this - 0 Print.
