Reading barcode from an usb barcodescanner. (2 replies)

Reading a barcode is easy when you give focus to an edit control.

I want to read the content from anywhere in an application without giving focus to an edit control.

It means that a user can get the content of a barcode from the main window. Then the program can do someting. If it was a client card it can select the client. If it was an article it will select the article .
Now it works only when a place an edit control and give focus to it.

Thanks,
