HI
I am using ScanWedge in my Symbol 2800 device( Pocket PC) to read barcode. I
am able to read this into a text box but i want to get it in some variable
or anything else from where I can read this and do some processing.
Any idea how this can be done? Is there any event I can wait for to get this
value?
Whats the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Girish
Thanks
I want to read the barcode and display the read number ( this is some
identifier ) in a text box. But just dont want to do this just based on the
cursor position. And perhaps we might also need to break this into more then
one field.

Thanks

Hi,

ScanWedge is the application given in the symbol sdk if I'm right. If they
have given the source code maybe u can tinker with it.

Actually the scan beam is started by a function called SCAN_ReadLabelMsg_W
function. u have to pass a user defined message to the function. So when the
scan completes the user defined message will be sent to ur application
window. In your application you can trap the message and the scan contents
will be stored in the LPARAM parameter of the message.

If the source code for scanwedge application is given maybe u can look for
SCAN_ReadlabelMsg_W function.

Hope this helps..

Hi,

you can write your own application or integrate the scanner functionlity in
ur existing application using the symbol sdk. you can refer to the sample
applications and the developers guide given with the sdk.

The sdk contains a set of APIs which u will be calling to integrate scanner
functionality in ur application.

if u r writing evc application u can integrate the scanner functionality
quite easily. but in case of evb u may have to write a activex control.

Hope this helps..

Sourabh,

I think you should be able to use the Symbol SMDK (.Net wrapper for
scanning, etc.) with the 2800. I use that with the 8800 and it works fine.
 
Hi Girish
I have a ASP.Net Web Application. What would be the best way to go with
this.

Thanks
