BarcodeScanner bind or update data to mobile/browser #221

Closed patagoniahiker closed 8 years ago

patagoniahiker commented 8 years ago

Hi the scanner sample is very focused to honeywell, this should be more generic since the application is universal :)

  1. Can you please tell me how to raise, capture and send the event to a) the browser text box b) ajax or webservice call.
  2. How can this be adapted to generic scanners that worked in previous generic keyboard wedge scenarios.

I don't see anything Honeywell-specific in the BarcodeScanner sample, but maybe I'm missing it. Care to point it out?

You can adapt the onDataReceived method in scenario1_BasicFunctionality.js. The sample just puts it in some TD elements, but you are welcome to put it in an INPUT element or send it via ajax to a back-end server. Just take the args.report and send it wherever you like.

Hi, trying this in a couple of browsers it sometimes puts values/goes to the URL bar, and other times it does not target the input box correctly.

  1. I tried to put a barcode-scanner-class on the div element and tried to tell it to target that as a textbox or list box. I was unable to modify this sample to target that element.
  2. This is a windows sample, I would like it to target a simple windows (ASP MVC) Controller Action as target for a quick lookup for either single mode or batch mode, where the user is scanning one code and looking up/submit or a back/inventory mode. Can you please add some guidance on how to do this, not just adapt suggestions, but a sample please.
  3. The HID spec is sometime virtual with wireless scanner, how can I detect this if its wife, will I still query the usb devices list? and will this device acquire/exclusive only work in IE or Chrome also? Currently the ActiveX version is very cloogy! And I would like to get a generric scanner working.

thanks

I think there is some confusion here. These samples are for the Windows Universal App platform. They are for standalone apps, not for use in Web pages.

patagoniahiker commented 8 years ago

Can you please correct me, from the MS build conference and the samples they demo's they said the same can work inside windows 10 apps, JS/HTML and browser, please tell me, is this not correct?

Do these names spaces not work in windows 10 EDGE, IE,

oldnewthing commented 8 years ago

WinJS works in Windows 10 apps as well as in browsers. WinRT works in Windows 10 apps, but not in browsers.

patagoniahiker commented 8 years ago

ok, in win 10, I can get access to the user device in opera but not firefox?

This sample is for demonstrating how to access the bar code scanner from a Windows Store universal app. If you want to access the bar code scanner from a Web browser, you'll have to ask the people who support that Web browser (in your case, the Opera folks).
