barcode scanner

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi Paolo,

As Roger pointed out, I have a Barcode Tester stack that will help, as 
well as a stack that creates Code 128 barcodes if that is any use. As 
others have said, the barcode scanner is exactly the same as a 
keyboard, all you have to do is work out what rawKey code your barcode 
scanner sends to indicate the end of a scan.

Mine uses 65293 so here are the scripts I need:

-- Any keyDown on the listed cards is taken as being a barcode 
character.
--
on keyDown theKey
   put "Front,Packing,Storing" into codeCards
   if the short name of this card is in codeCards then
     put theKey after fld "Barcode"
   else
     pass keyDown
   end if
end keyDown

-- When the end character is received, process the characters
-- that have already arrived.
-- Don't forget to clear the "Barcode" field afterwards.
--
on rawKeyDown theKey
   if theKey = 65293 then
     put the short name of this card into cardName
     send mouseUp to btn "Process Barcode" of cd cardName
   else
     pass rawKeyDown
   end if
end rawKeyDown

Cheers,
Sarah
