hi have you solved your prroblem or not i think i can help you bye

 

[Faiz]

still not i am having this problem from quite a long time now

 

[Faiz]

ok what i understand that you are developing a system and you are scaning some barcodes of the products and you may need to scan the IMEI no and PINNO etc of that product but their lenght is not fixed and you want that your scanner finish the scaning when the loength of the textbox is completed am i right?

 

[ali shah]

yes you are absolutely right i am having the same problem can you solve it for me ?

 

[Faiz]

ya ok then i faced the same problem in the past how i solved it that i made another form in which i had two fields textbox1 and textbox2 then i made a class in which idefined two variables a and b as integer

then i used the scaner to scan the barcode and imei in the fields and

using clsglobal.a = textbox1.textlength
clsglobal.b = textbox2.textlength

then i used these values in my next form

i'e if txtbarcode.textlength = clsglobal.a then

txtimei.focus

try this hopefully this will work

but remember this methos is good only if you have a bunch of barcodes of same length
and not good if you are scaning just two or three barcodes

bye
