hazed6809 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm trying to read a Usb barcode reader and put the data in a certain input control always. So when data comes from this device it always updates the right window/ctrl or ignores if windows is not up. This computer runs 2 monitors, where it is possibly the keyboard is active on another window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 A barcocde reader, at least most of them, emulate a keyboard. You can't have another window active if you want the text to go into the correct window. It would be like telling the computer to not input text into a window if your target window wasn't the active window, it would cause your keyboard to stop working as well. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

hazed6809 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 That wasn't what I wanted to hear..,but kind of knew. The computer that would be running the code will be running 2 autoit programs only. nothing external ..it's a Kios. 1 Program only has 1 field of input and a couple of buttons. if Active which would only be a min or two I would like to disable the USB Barcode reader from working. The other Program has dual modes. Window 1 and window 2. If window 1 exist. then window 2 deleted. Window 2 has keyboard where I would like to disable the USB Barcode reader at this time. and then enable it when window 1 is backup. I could do timers (30 seconds) and/or after task complete on program 1 automatically make Window 1 of Program 2 active if exist. I'm not sure how I would block the barcode reader on window 2, since I do not see where autoit would see what usb device a piece of text came from or how to temporary disable a certain usb port/device.
