Hi!,
I want to block keyboard input into my application, but i dont want to block the barcode scanner input.. i have a scanner that connects through the keyboard port..
Is there a way to identify if the input is coming through the keyboard or the scanner? Is this possible??
Thanks for your help!

You would have to refer to the scanner documentation. Even though I have no experience with such devices, I would imagine that such a device hooked up to a keyboard port is essentially acting as a automatic keyboard. When you scan a code, the scanner is just emitting "key strokes" as if you entered them on the keyboard yourself. Therefore, I would suspect that you won't be able to block manual entry because the computer doesn't know that the device hooked up is a scanner versus a regular manual keyboard.

Again, this is just based on an assumption of how such a device is likely to work. You'll have to read the manual to find out for sure.

Oh I see, is there any other way to accomplish that task in that situation, like only accept user input from the reader? any ideas?
THANKS!!
