Himitsu Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I was wondering if there was a way to make a barcode that would trigger a script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphL Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Use the EventScript plug-in from S4HU. Set the reader to send a tab character at the end of the scan. This will exit the field and the plug-in will trigger the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Himitsu: You can also create barcodes that only trigger scripts, by making barcodes of ctrl-1, ctrl-2, etc. (or rather the ASCII equivalent), when you've got scripts that appear in the top ten slots under the ScriptMaker menu. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himitsu Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Stanley, I can understand that but I am using the font free39 and I can't seem to be able to make a ctrl type barcode ... maybe it is the font or is it the scanner has a combination of keys that equal a "ctrl" comman?

stanley Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Himitsu: It depends on the the type of barcode reader you're using, as well as the font. I don't know anything about free39 - I use 3of9 - and I can't recall off the top of my head what the format is for sending a control character. I'll look it up on Monday and let you know. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Himitsu: Running FMP 5.5 on Macintosh OS9 or Windows 98 using the HHP 3800 barcode scanner, the format for a control character is as follows (for cmd-1, which is analogous to ctrl-1): *$H1$J* Let me know if that works for you. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himitsu Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Stanley, thanks for the time on this. I don't have a printer in my house so I can't print it. I tried with the monitor but I guess that doesn't work. I will try it when I get in my office on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
