Loken Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hello Autoit Forum , I am trying to detect Barcode scanners actions.I searched the forum and i found commMG UDF but i could not detect actions. Thanks , Loken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi Loken many barcode reader are connected "in the middle" between the keyboard and the ps/2 connector of the p.c. so, when it reads the barcode, is like if you type that code directly on the keyboard. What type of barcode reader is your? Chimp small minds discuss people average minds discuss events great minds discuss ideas.... and use AutoIt....

jchd Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Other readers use a USB interface and the most popular/cheap of them are driverless. They fake input by identifying as keyboard and emit ASCII codes by sending ALT+<value> sequences. See >this thread. Here are the code I've been using. Note that it may be a bit rusty but I know it already helped others. All I can do quickly is join you the sample code. Look for a line wth @@@@@@@@@ for interesting point. I haven't used this code for years... You'll probably have to list HID devices properties to determine which is which, which makes the code somehow specific to a particular setup. I hope this will help you out. Barcode Reader Filter.au3 RawInput.au3 EDIT: attachments fixed.

Loken Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Pincopanco , I use an usb barcode reader . It's model is ' HandHeld N10410 ' . I want to detect it's action to run a script which can do automate the IBS program. jchd , I cant download your attachments , I get this error ' Sorry, you don't have permission for that! ' .

Loken Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks jchd i got your attachments now.But I could not make up any codes to read barcode scanners input.May you help simple ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Are you saying that your reader doesn't actually send barcode data to the PC? The code posted only helps sorting out what comes from the keyboard and what is from BC reader. These are mostly snippets to be adjusted to your use case.

juzis28 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 OK . Thank you very much i solve problem with a diffrent way.Hi, sorry, old topic, but i`m facing same problem. Could you please share your "different way" solution?Barcode Reader Filter.au3RawInput.au3Couldn`t understand where i could use these snapshoots. Could someone give working examples?Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Sorry but I don't have the time right now to go back thru this. The idea is to first enumerate the various HID devices and then determine which is the one of interest. After that you can pass the correct parameters to intercept raw input and perform the task you need. You'll need to read the code(s) posted and understand the different pieces to get the picture.

juzis28 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks anyway. Got it finally working. Used RawInput.au3 and input filtration "all but keyboard". Inside of _OnInput() i do some filtering for unacepted chars and proper string (accepted only those with letters A and K ald later certain stirng lenght is filtered out).expandcollapse popupFunc _OnInput($hwnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) Local $tRI_KD, $pRI_KD, $iRI_KB Local $tRIDI_HID, $pRIDI_HID, $iRIDI_HID Local $iSize $tRI_KD = DllStructCreate($tagRAWINPUT_KEYBOARD) $pRI_KD = DllStructGetPtr($tRI_KD) $iRI_KB = DllStructGetSize($tRI_KD) $tRIDI_HID = DllStructCreate($tagRIDDEVICEINFO_HID) $pRIDI_HID = DllStructGetPtr($tRIDI_HID) $iRIDI_HID = DllStructGetSize($tRIDI_HID) DllStructSetData($tRIDI_HID, 'cbSize', $iRIDI_HID) _GetRawInputData($ilParam, $RID_INPUT, $pRI_KD, $iRI_KB, $iRIH) If Not @error Then $hdevice = DllStructGetData($tri_kd, "hDevice") $vkey = DllStructGetData($tri_kd, "VKey") If $KEYBOARD_ID = "" Then $KEYBOARD_ID = 0x000B003F ; default keyboard ID on my PC EndIf EndIf _GetRawInputDeviceInfo($hDevice, $RIDI_DEVICEINFO, $pRIDI_HID, $iRIDI_HID) If Not @error Then $hDevice2 = DllStructGetData($tRI_KD, 'hDevice') $dwVendorId = DllStructGetData($tRIDI_HID, 'dwVendorId') $dwProductId = DllStructGetData($tRIDI_HID, 'dwProductId') $dwType = DllStructGetData($tRI_KD, 'dwType') EndIf If DllStructGetData($tRI_KD, 'hDevice') <> $KEYBOARD_ID Then ;~ $vKey = DllStructGetData($tRI_KD, 'VKey');F3 = 114 ;~ ConsoleWrite(Chr($vKey)) If $on Then $t=$t& Chr($vKey) ;~ ConsoleWrite($t&@CR) $on=0 Else $on=1 EndIf EndIf $tRI_KD = 0 $t = StringRegExpReplace ( $t, "(?i)[^0-9AK\.]", "" ) ; K number If StringLen($t) = 10 Then If StringInStr($t, "K") Then _insert_barcode() EndIf ; ; A number ElseIf StringLen($t) = 8 Then If StringInStr($t, "A") Then _insert_barcode() EndIf EndIf Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFuncI still do not know how to prevent dublication of strings, i use some loop in function _insert_barcode()...
