Data inserted by barcode scanner
I've created a form with a text input box in which the production team is required to enter a lot code using the keyboard. I have recently moved the focus control of that text box to "Data is inserted by barcode scanner". Can we set the text box to not allow keying from the keyboard and only accept the barcode scan? The goal is to eliminate keying errors in that text box.
BarTender 11.2 - Windows 10 Pro
Thanks

I dont think that is possible as most barcode scanners act as if they are keyboard inputs anyway.
If you have control of the barcodes you could possibly add a verification string/element perhaps and use VB or similar to look for that and only accept data that includes that.

I'm looking into using this feature as well. But I'm curious. What does that checkbox do, if the string field just remains a string? In other words, the whole process remains error-prone, if the focus needs to be set to that field before scanning.
And then what does BarTender do with that checkbox? What does it matter, if the field is just a string? BarTender wouldn't know if a scanner was used (in keyboard wedge mode) or the user just continued typing the input.

I believe the barcode scanner option lets BarTender know there is an CR/LF automatically after the data and so will enter it and move on to the next field.
If it were an serial device you could probably create an Integration that waits for the input to be scanned and then opens the label for printing with the data already entered
