Re: barcode integration possible in FrontAccounting

Yes. If you have barcode scanner pluggable in between your box and kbd, you can use it together
with Foreign Item Codes definitions.

Re: barcode integration possible in FrontAccounting

What kind of barcode scanner do you want. Here I googled two barcode scanners: C# barcode scanner, .NET barcode scanner.
If they are not suitable, you may try to find it through Google.

Re: barcode integration possible in FrontAccounting

If your custom module has it's own tables updated from within it without touching the core FA tables, you have nothing to worry. Your module should be comprehensive enough to make any changes to it's tables when core FA dependent tables change.

Barcode is only a keyboard interface and once the cursor is in a barcode value box and the barcode scan button is pressed, the barcode's value enters the field. Depending on the terminating character code set in the barcode scanner (TAB or ENTER key), the effect will either be a passon to the next field or a submit action for the form.

Unless you submit your module for peer review no one will be able to help you any further here.

Re: barcode integration possible in FrontAccounting

I agree with apmuthu.

Barcode is only a keyboard interface and once the cursor is in a barcode value box and the barcode scan button is pressed, the barcode's value enters into input field.

I'm doing this with VB.NET. So I might check the .NET reader. Thanks for sharing this.
