scanner input VS keyboard input

[#1]

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
