In addition to what Tore says (it IS really simple), one tweak you may want to do is to configure your bar code scanner to "send" a prefix, i.e., it can send a character to the application so that you can recognize that you are getting bar code scanner input instead of user input (you use to put some code in the form's keyPress() method to trap this special character.
