A PC without a barcode scanner is connected with a cable like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;KEYBOARD]---------&gt;PC_KEYB<wbr />OARD_PORT<br />
<br />
<br />
A PC with a barcode scanner is connected is cabled like this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;KEYBOARD]---------&gt;SCANNER<wbr />]---------<wbr />&gt;PC_KEYBOA<wbr />RD_PORT<br />
<br />
<br />
You have an application that has a textbox. &nbsp;When you focus on that textbox, it DOESN'T matter if you type information in at the keyboard, or use the scanner... &nbsp;The system will put the characters into the textbox. &nbsp;What you do with the text is up to your application, and has nothing to do with whether you have a scanner attached or not...<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
