We have just gotten a Dell barcode scanner to use with a Dell Rugged tablet 7202, which we want to use for scanning barcodes of material numbers into a userform textboxes.
The drivers works fine and i can activate the scanner in demo applications, and also use the magnet strip reader to input data into excel.
The problem with the scanner is, that unlike a serial/USB barcode reader, is that it does not have a trigger button, so that has to be programmed somehow.
So far i haven't been able to find any simple programs to activate the scanner send the input to the active application, possibly Excel, and then turn of the scanner again.
Alternatively a solution could be to code a button in the userform to start the scanner and turn it of again after scanning, but I don't know what command to use in order to code that button.
Any help would be much appreciated, as my web searches so far have been unsuccessful.
