Hello,
I am looking for a possibility to read data from a USB hand scanner.
At the moment we are using only RS232 hand scanner, which is working fine on a NetDCUA9 board (WinEC7).
But in future there should be the possibility to use USB scanners.
What are the possibilities?
I read following in an earlier thread:
"in general a USB barcode scanner is handled in the same way as a keyboard. So it should work without problems."
But how to integrate this a program which is reading usually from serial COM port?
Can be done this in a thread in background or do I have to scan directly in an edit field with focus?
Is there also a possibility (with driver or other solution) to read data from USB and send to virtual COM port, which my tool can read directly?
Best regards, Andy
