Scanner input  VS keyboard input

Dear all,
We have a webdynpro application that receives it's input from a usb barcode scanner. The screens are working fine, but now there's an extra requirement, that for some input fields, it's mandatory that the input is coming from the scanner, and not from manual input with the keyboard.
Is it possible?
The barcode scanner behaves as an input device, without triggering events or so, so at this moment, we don't really know if the input is coming from a scanned barcode or from manual input with the keyboard.
Kind regards,
J.
PS: the scenario is where the web dynpro application runs on a desktop or laptop, so the alternative for handheld with barcodereader UIElement is not an option to solve this.

Hi
Please explain this point again :  the scenario is where the web dynpro application runs on a desktop or laptop, so the alternative for handheld with barcodereader UIElement is not an option to solve this.
With external hardware device(Thumb print reader , Signature pad  ) it has set of API which we  can incorporate inside our application , challenging part is whether
such sort of solution is there in webdynpro or not , alternatively we can use JSP with java script to handle this  with using IFRAME UI (which is deprecated) or webwidgetUI element (might available in 7.2 ).
further with your point
The barcode scanner behaves as an input device : Yes by default is get its place to write , we have to highlight that input field with current cursor position.
Hope you get some help?
Best Regards
Satish Kumar

    How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
    This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

    You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
    I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

  • Keyboard input delay Flex/AIR

    I've build an AIR desktop app that uses an USB barcode scanner. To capture the token provided by the barcode scanner an input field is used.
    When testing the barcode input was only partially captured by the scanner. This was caused by the barcode scanner's input coming in the fast. Increasing the key stroke delay of the barcode scanner (config tool from motorola) solved the problem however this is not ideal.
    Does anyone has experience with this type of problems? What is an approach to solve this? Maybe by writing an Java compagnion app that captures the keyboard input?

    I just ran into this same problem. Our users are scanning barcodes from various labels using various types of scanners (changing the delay using scanner software wasn't an option). We also have to allow them to scan to a TextInput within a DataGrid, which created even more problems. There were 2 very interesting things I learned in coming up with a solution for this one:
    1. As mentioned previously, the scanner inputs the data so quickly that the enter key event is often processed before the change event for the text. I tried several solutions (like trying to force the change event before the enter key is processed), but learned that the best solution was just to add the delay as mentioned in previous posts.
    2. When adding to a DataGrid control, I learned that both the DataGrid's & the TextInput's key down events are fired by the same SystemManager event. Though you can override the TextInput's keyDownHandler, you can't override the DataGrid's because it's a private method. So, even though my delay was being processed in the TextInput, the DataGrid was forcing control away from it and moving to the next item in the grid. To get around this one, I had to stop propagation of the event from the TextInput, then re-start the DataGrid's event once the delay was complete. I also had to process a focus-out event to get it to move to the next item in the DataGrid.
    Here's the code I used inside a custom TextInput control to handle processing both stand-alone and inside a DataGrid:
    override protected function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          // If the enter key was pressed, then we need to add a delay.
          // Barcode scanners quite often process the enter key before the TextInput
          // control has time to finish processing all the text. (e.g., Instead of
          // getting 12345 as a text entry, you could get 123 or 1234.)
          if (event.charCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
               // If this is the first time we've processed the enter key, we need to
               // add the delay.
               if (_keyboardEvent == null)
               _keyboardEvent = new KeyboardEvent(event.type, event.bubbles,
               event.cancelable, event.charCode, event.keyCode, event.keyLocation,
               event.ctrlKey, event.altKey, event.shiftKey);
               event.stopImmediatePropagation();
               barcodeTimer(_keyboardEvent);
                          return;
               // If the enter key is pressed while we are still in the delay, ignore
               // it.
               else if (_keyboardEvent != null && _keyboardEvent != event)
                         return;
               // If the delay is complete, then we need to restart events related to
               // the enter key so the control is handled properly.
               else
                    super.keyDownHandler(event);
                    // If the TextInput is inside a DataGrid, then we need to dispatch the
                    // DataGrid's key down event. We also need to make sure the proper
                    // focus change happens (since this was stopped in the original event
                    // propagation).
                    if (parent != null && parent.parent != null &&
               parent.parent is mx.controls.DataGrid)
               parent.parent.dispatchEvent(event);
               dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE, true,
                              false, null, event.shiftKey, Keyboard.TAB));
            _keyboardEvent = null;
                    return;
          super.keyDownHandler(event);
    * This is a copy of the keyboard event to be processed once the barcode
    * delay is complete.
    private var _keyboardEvent:KeyboardEvent = null;
    * This method launches a timer of sufficient length to allow barcode
    * scanner text to be processed before it re-launches the keyboard event.
    * @param event This is the key-down event to be restarted once the timer is
    * complete.
    private function barcodeTimer(event:KeyboardEvent):void
          var t:Timer = new Timer(30, 1); // 30 ms
       t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
               function():void
               keyDownHandler(event);
       t.start();

  • CS1 for Java (Keyboard Input)

    I downloaded CS1 for my Comp. Sci class in order to use Keyboard input in my Java coding. However, I don't know where to put the downloaded .jar file. Could somebody please help me? This is where I downloaded it from: http://duke.csc.villanova.edu/jss1/bookResources/keyboard.jsp
    Thanks

    Hi Max
    It's not your fault but I am appalled that Java teachers are still using bodges like the Keyboard class, when the standard Scanner class has been available for over 12 months.
    So here's what I suggest:
    1) Try putting the jar file into /Library/Java/Extensions
    2) Tell your tutor to get his notes up to date and use the Scanner class instead of Keyboard

  • Keyboard input lost on desktop actions

    If I change the name of a file on the desktop, I find that often this can result in complete loss of keyboard input as far as file names are concerned – i.e., it becomes impossible to change file names, name new files or make any keyboard input whatsoever. This can happen almost at once, or after an indeterminate number of file names have been changed; there seems to be no pattern or logic to the phenomenon. Suggestions?

    I am having a hard time finding any common thread to this event. The last time it occurred, last night, I was running the following applications:
    Firefox v 2.0.0.1
    Entourage v 11
    Word 2004 v 11
    Photoshop CS v 8
    Preview v 3.0.7
    QuickTime v 7.1.3
    Silverfast launcher v 2.1.2
    Microtek Scanner Finder v 3.24
    Otherwise:
    Startup item: Microtek Scanner Finder v 3.24
    APE extensions: Don't think any; I don't recognise the term.
    Attachments: Printer (Epson Pro 3800), Scanner (Microtek i800), external hard drive, USB modem. However, I had these attachments even before the problem cropped up.
    Finally, I have also run repairs and permissions corrections from Disk Utility without discovering any problems.
    Many thanks for your help!

  • How to have same keyboards input source in Mac and Windows???

    I use Canadian French-CSA on my Mac keyboards input source. Using Windows 7, I can't find the good setting for my keyboards to be the same when I it keys.
    I run Windows over Parallels Desktop
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you

    Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
    Yes.
    and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
    The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
    and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
    If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
    Or is there another Airport base station?
    The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
    OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
    That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

  • How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

    (My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
    Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
    This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
    Problem:
    I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
    (Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
    Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
    Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
    I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
    Thank you. =)
    /bow
    Edit/Delete Message

    The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
    Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

  • Firefox and Thunderbird are suddenly not accepting keyboard input

    Keyboard shortcuts still work just input in any kind of input field fails so I can still use ctrl+C / CTRL+V to somewhat use firefox and Thunderbird But all input fields are completely unresponsive to keyboard input
    The problem suddenly arose while I was browsing.
    I have the same issue on all program's based on the Gecko engine and I confirmed them so far in Firefox, waterfox, instantbird, thunderbird and fossamail. However chromium / windows / basically everythign n
    To fix it I tried the following:
    Restarting firefox
    Restarting firefox in savemode
    Rebooting
    Changing the keyboard layout in windows
    Using a different keyboard
    Again rebooting
    Pressing F7 to check for caret mode which was disabled
    pressing winkey + F9 (Whatever that does)
    I am running windows 8.1(x64)

    Solved, Changing the keyboard layout again and rebooting fixed it. I tried using the on screen keyboard which worked so I changed the keyboard layout again and rebooted and now it works just fine. I still wonder what caused a Gecko wide issue like this?

  • Default Keyboard input change in using roaming Profile on different Win 7

    We found a strange problem on default Keyboard setting.
    We are using roaming profiles for all users.
    One of our users is using two Windows 7. One Windows 7 is VDI for working out of office and another Win 7 is her local PC.
    She is only using Two keyboard input: Chinese Traditional English and Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
    Whenever she had used the Windows 7 VDI, when she comes back to office and use her local PC, the default Keyboard input will automatically change to Chinese Traditional Pinyin.
    The user said she had not changed any default keyboard input in the VDI of local PC.
    Is there anything we can do for this issue?

  • Score staff problems with keyboard input

    Hi. I am trying to input midi keyboard notes, in real time, into Logic Pro. This works fine. However, I'd also like to create a reasonable, normal score from those notes. The problem is that the notes are divided between the bass and treble clefs. This isn't at all readable when, for example, a chord played with the right hand is say, an A minor chord with the C note being middle C. The 3 notes should all appear in the treble clef.
    When I try to move the note from the bass clef to the treble clef, I get messages that I need poly voicing and when I follow the help files to add another voice, I get a new clef. The only way I've been able to figure out how to do this is to record the left hand and right hand parts in different tracks, separately, which is quite cumbersome.
    This ought to be easy! What am I missing?

    i have to say i have created extremely complex and sophisticated concert music scores using logic. it can be done despite a myriad of problems and bugs. it's great advantage is flexibility and speed, there is nothing wrong with what it should be able to do, it just trips you up at the very last hurdle - hugely frustrating because it gets you there well ahead of the game.
    i can tell you through the grapevine that improvements and upgrading are on the way for the score editor. it is very useful to have the likes of all the people on this thread posting because score users are under represented on the forum. logic developers don't realize how many of its users depend on its score features, because most of us don't post.
    now some important tips:
    - you can set a default score style in the arrange window in the paramters box when you click on a midi instrument track. that means whenever you create a midi region it will be in that score style.
    - being able to select score styles for different regions is a good thing!!!! this way you can speed up your work flow incredibly - way way faster than sibelius or finale.
    Rests have to be written instead of automatically appearing.
    rubbish! you can set the rests to appear automatically. use differing score styles.
    I wanted to say that I am hugely disappointed with apple's neglect of the score windo
    now there i am with you brother.
    if you want to see what can be achieved using score in logic, even in the state it's in you can have a look at a sample of my violin concerto i have at my website:

  • CS3 Language Keyboard Input Error

    Greetings All,
    I have been trouble-shooting this problem for a while, but still it is not resolved. Any help or ideas would be gladly received!
    Background: We have a correctly functioning installation of Win XP, and PS CS3 Extended which appears to work normally in every other regard. No obvious errors; no crashes, no start-up complaints; nothing seemingly out of order. I use several installed languages in Windows (EngUK, Russian, Swedish, etc). All of these work normally. All of my installed fonts work correctly in every application on the system except for CS3.
    There would appear to be something wrong with CS3's keyboard mapping in foreign languages. When typing with a non-English keyboard setting (any other language) and using TrueType fonts (not Open), only 'missing character' boxes appear in the artwork. The Layers menu displays the typed text correctly, but this will not appear in the artwork. If I use an old install of PS7, I can type using these same fonts correctly in any language. These layers can be imported into CS3, and these WILL display correctly on the artwork. However, the Layers menu in this case displays nonsensical characters. Ergo, I suspect that CS3's keyboard input data is errant.
    Where does PS3 keep its information regarding language / keyboard layout? It is possible to edit this file(s)? Are there any other ideas regarding this problem and what might be wrong?
    Thanks

  • Spaces locks keyboard input

    Per Sean Dale1, the following was mis-posted in the 10.5 Leopard thread (original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2201088):
    Have been running into this problem more and more frequently on both a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro tower running 10.6.1 and 10.6.2: when I Control-right-arrow to move to my other "space" one or two of two bad things will happen:
    (1) the icon in the middle-bottom of the screen showing which "space" I'm in does NOT fade away and disappear
    (2) I am prevented from doing ANY keyboard-input into my programs there. I will be able to click and highlight windows using the mouse, as well as see menus activating and such, but anywhere there is a text field (browser or address book or ANYwhere) keyboard input is not displayed.
    The only solution is to go into the Activity Monitor and quit the Dock application.
    Have been seeing this problem for a few weeks which persists through reboots and such.
    Ideas?

    This issue is being covered in more detail at this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2161076
    This suddenly started happening to me yesterday and now happens every time I switch Spaces with the keyboard. I've found that the only way around it is to only use the menubar icon to switch. Because I'm so used to clicking keys to switch Spaces and still do it unconsciously, I've disabled the keys in Spaces prefs.

  • Installed rdesktop - but keyboard input still goes to Mac Terminal??

    My work PC has been "upgraded" to Windows 7 which made the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.1 stop working (it connects OK, I can login and see my work PC screen, but as soon as I try to do something I am "disconnected" from the PC).  I can't install RDC 2.1 because I have a PPC G5.
    So I searched for alternative remote desktop apps.  Cord 0.5.0 crashes on my machine and 0.5.5 won't even start up.
    I ended up installing rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org)
    It looks promising - very fast, and gets me to my PC login screen.  My mouse pointer can click on the screen buttons, but any keyboard input appears in my G5 Terminal window and is not sent to the Windows 7 PC.  This makes it impossible to enter my Windows 7 password to login!
    I'm sure this is a simple problem to solve but I have no idea on how to solve it.
    Any clues appreciated.  Thanks.

    Try:
    rdesktop -x m -r clipboard:"CLIPBOARD" -g 1280x1024 -u<username> <hostip>
    I do recommend using ssh tunnel for RDP over internet. Is more secure and limits open ports to only ssh port in firewall.
    There are instructions about on how to use cygwin with RSA key login, turn off ssh password login when working properly.
