First a question,
Can a the input from a barcode scanner connected to a USB port be directed to a specific application and not necessarily the active window?
Right now the barcode scanners we use connect via serial ports and the application listens to the port until data is received. The application most of the time is not the active window and any data scanned by the barcode scanner needs to go to that application and not the active window.
If that can be done, then here is the project.
Create an application that will accept data from a USB connected barcode scanner (even if it is not the active window), use an http request to submit the barcode to a website which will return a predefined string of information that will then be displayed in the application.
There are several variables that need to be setup for each time the software ware is installed.
1. The url for the http request
2. the url passes these variables
> a) orgID (organizationID number)
> b) deptID (departmentID number)
> c) locID (locationID number)
> d) barcode (the barcode that was scanned)
>
The website returns a sting of data that is formatted as such.
First Name, Last Name, ID number of sound file to be played, unix timestamp,notes to be shown to the user
We have a VB6 app that does this right now but it depends on the scanner being attached to comm port and we want to be able to connect to a scanner that is attached to a usb port (without using an USB to serial port adapter). But again, the application is not usually the active window and we can not have barcodes being scanned into Word Documents or Outlook or what ever the active window is. The data needs to get to the app even if it is not the active window.
The application should work on Windows XP and all versions after XP.
