Hi,
By using bellow code I am trying to access the barcode scanner device which is connected by USB.
private PosExplorer explorer; private Scanner scanner; private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { explorer = new PosExplorer(this); explorer.DeviceAddedEvent += new DeviceChangedEventHandler(explorer_DeviceAddedEvent); } void explorer_DeviceAddedEvent(object sender, DeviceChangedEventArgs e) { if (e.Device.Type == "Scanner") { scanner = (Scanner)explorer.CreateInstance(e.Device); scanner.Open(); scanner.Claim(1000); scanner.DeviceEnabled = true; scanner.DataEvent += new DataEventHandler(scanner_DataEvent); scanner.DataEventEnabled = true; scanner.DecodeData = true; } } void scanner_DataEvent(object sender, DataEventArgs e) { // Reading barcode data }
In explorer I am unable to find the attached scanner.
Note : Installed required drivers also.
Please suggest me if anything wrong.

Hi,
Do you use it for 1D or 2D scanning. Using windows 10? For 1D scanning a barcode scanner act as a keyboard. Did you had the message from windows "keyboard attached" I do not known the brand, i have programmed a barcode scanner code with an scanner act as a keyboard, no driver installed, plug and play.

Hi A.suresh1,
I'm afraid this question is not related to Winform, it sounds more like a scanner can't connect to a computer, I suggest you connect the scanner provider for help, and ask your question at Microsoft Community.

I am using Windows 8.1 and 2D scanning and moreover I have to do other coding after scanning complete event raised. If it is connected as keyboard there are no events raising for scanner.
Have you tried a form with a textbox in it. Intercept the keydown event and try. With 2d scanning properly multiline textbox. Set focus on the textbox if you try.
Succes
