How read codebar with HoneyWell 6100?

[mrjaw]

Hi!
I have a Honeywell 6100 device for inventory. I did my app to read the code bar and seek this into my DB but now I can not use the scan reader with B4PPC. When I press scan nothing happens.

Tex03 did you say that you have one of this how could you read the codebar ??

Check this thread http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-help-needed/8395-looking-help-wrapping-dll-into-b4p-library.html

Agraham, I checked that thread but I dont know how to read the scan yet.
I need to get something like scanwedge for is enough, just put me on textfield and read using the scanner .

I am not C# programmer and any M$ application. So if you have something using B4PPC to read from scanner to textfield I would so apreciate that.

Meanwhile, I cant read anything to my app.


TIA

The library we came up with also won't help you as it was built for the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, not the Windows CE SDK.

Hi!
Tex8503, I have gotten the SDK CE for using reading scanner barcode but I dont know how to start.
Can you give me a cluee using your project to create this library for WinCe 5.0

Scanning Barcodes

Hi mrjaw,

I wrote an application for the following scanner: Datalogic Memor running with Windows Mobile 6 .

Pushing the scan-Button will start the laser. The scanner or better the device/hardware will interpret the barcode and will give you the numbers back via clipboard.
For this precious device it was very easy catching the input: Place a text-box on the form, set the focus and push the scan-button.

Is the behavoiur of your scanner the same? Do you see the laser when you push the scan-button? If the laser is visible- what´s the device doing with the result of a scan?

Maybe you check this out.

fatman, this is precisely that my device doesnt. When my app run the scanner off and never back until the app is quit.
This behaviour is with any application. So I need to read and activate the scanner by using scanner API for this.

Think I cannot help you with API very much...
All I know is with the Datalogic scanner you may push the scan-button whenever you want- even if NO application is running and the scanner will ALWAYS write something to the clipboard.
Did you check all the (hardware)options? E.g. i have a so called 'Wake up on Scan Button' checkbox... and so on. It took a while to adjust the device...

You can do what fatman is talking about if you turn on the scanwedge application. But the disadvantage of doing it this way is that scanwedge is that the data is only returned to the application into the field you've set focus to.

If you need to manipulate that data - you'll need to do it once its populated into the text field. This is opposed to using the API where you can progamaically capture the data and manipulate it before its returned to the user in the application.

As I explained before - we built Agraham and I were working on the Windows Mobile version of the 9700 - not the 6100 which, up until extremely recently, only ran Windows CE - which won't work with our library.

If your 6100 has Win Mobile - it should work.

For me scanwedge work fine..!! The problem is that I dont have the scanwedge so I cant use. For me scanwedge is enough but I dont know where is.

I want your lib just to see how you did, of course, I know that it doesnt work for me but I have the idea to do mine using SDk for winCE

The scanwedge is an app?
i can turn on this mode , if yes how could i do that ?

Thks!!

Scanwedge should be part of the utilities that come on the device. Contact the reseller you bought it through for support or contact Honeywell Scanning & Mobility support directly. Either should help you.

You should have a powertools directory that its in off your programs folder. If you don't see either that directory or demos.

Either your Reseller or HS&M should be able to help you get the files you need to put scanwedge back on the device.
