Magnetic Card Reader/Writer

Hi,

Anyone know how can I read/write magnetic stripe card ? I have the device installed. And now I need to access that magnetic card reader/writer via Delphi Win32 application.

If you may share some source code or know any good articles/components that I can use, please please let me know.

Thanks.

I would suggest having a look at the Async Professional components from TurboPower.

These are all top of the line professional components. Used to need a licence pretty expensive buying, but due to Turbo Power cutting down on support and further development they where issued as open source some time back and are available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/

I think you can find one that fits your interface. I don't have any sample source, but there should be some helpfiles included and samples somewhere on the net. Rather easy to use.

If your card reader is a USB or Wedge type reader, most likely it is sending it's data directly to the keyboard buffer. You can open up notepad and swipe something to see.

If it is, then you could use the key events to get at it.
