Perfect!  Thank you.  Do you know if it's the same for a Bluetooth enabled
scanner as well?

Hi Rocky, works the same way.  Wherever you have the cursor and then hit the
scan, the data will go there.  Person would click in whatever appropriate
field on your data entry screen, then scan the barcode and it would type the
data in there.  If they had Notepad open and scanned the barcode, scan would
go to Notepad.

Dear Lists:

A client of mine with who I am working long distance, needs a bar code
scanner to deliver bar code data to the app I wrote for him.

In the past I recommended to clients who needed bar code scanning to use the
'wedge' approach as to the app the scanned code looked like it was coming
from the keyboard, so no additional development or testing was required on
my part. Just click into the appropriate text box and walla! The code would
appear there.

He's looking to me to recommend a scanner.  Most of them now are straight
USB, many Bluetooth.  What I don't know is, when you are using a scanner
plugged into a USB port, where does the scanned data go?  I think I  could
probably figure this out if I had the scanner here and some of his bar
codes.  But maybe that would be unnecessary.

So when plugged into a USB port, where does the scanned data go?  Does the
app have to poll the port for data?

Can you point me to the one I need to purchase?  Does it come with a dongle
for the Bluetooth?

Thanks,

Mark

That one may not work for you Mark.  It's for POS/Android/IOS/Imac/Ipad.
You need something that's Windows compatible.  The specs say

"It also can work with PC. If you don't know how connect with your PC,
please contact seller for driver which can help you connect scanner with
your PC easyly."  So that might not be so straightforward.

There's another one on the page

https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Barcode-Scanner-Handheld-Automatic/dp/B006

<https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Barcode-Scanner-Handheld-Automatic/dp/B00

ard+wedge+barcode+scanner&psc=1>
&qid=1518824795&sr=8-18-spons&keywords=keyboard+wedge+barcode+scanner&psc=1

which is wired but specifies that it reads the most common bar code types:

"Supports a wide range of barcodes types: UPC/EAN, UCC/EAN 128, Code 39,
Code 39 Full ASCII, Trioptic Code 39, Code 128, Code 128 Full ASCII,
Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, Discrete 2 of 5, Code 93, MSI, Code 11, RSS
variants, Chinese 2 of 5"

And is plug and play with any USB port. Might be a better choice.  If the
cable is too short you can get a USB extension cord - male on one end,
female on the other.
