Kisok mode - keyboard shortcuts

[modles]

Hi

I would like my file to run in kiosk mode, however i think i still need to be able to have access to keyboard shortcuts, i.e ctrl-1.

I need this because i have to trigger a script when a barcode reader is used, an i am doing this by setting up ctrl-1 as a prefix to the barcode input.

So i guess i need one of two solutions, the ability to trigger script from keyboard command in kiosk mode, or another way of tiggering a script when barcode reader is used.

Help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

How about using a looping script that pauses after processing each scan?

All you should need is the "enter" after your scan.

cant do that because i need the script to fire before input to goto correct field etc :

How about wiring the script(s) to buttons?

what do you mean?

Purely from a logical point of view...

The DB must have been opened in some way so you should be able to run the "looping" script as the OPEN script - then it will be waiting for the reader.

but if i have an ever looping script, wont that cause the database to freeze up?

obviosuly capturing the barcode reader is not the only function of the db.

Although thinking about it, does that mean i should have another file that just does the looping to detect barcode reader, and this passes data onto main file? can i do this in kiosk mode, i.e have multiple files?

FYI - SecureFM plugin HotKey function sorts this problem

You can set your own keyboard shortcuts which will work in kiosk mode.

YAY!!!
