Hi friends:

I've been developing a system which has textboxes which must accept barcodes.

I've been testing it with a scanner which is programmed with 1 CR suffix.

But as I know there are a few clients who have scanners with no CR suffix and with lost manuals or they can't be located I decided to test my program with no CR suffix.

I thought my code worked till an hour ago... But it doesn't.

I know 3 (three) kind of barcode: 8-13 and more than 13 for products.

I programmed keypressed event. If digits procesed are 8 I do this:

a=CHRSAW()
IF !a
b=CHRSAW(0.4)
IF !B
KEYBOARD CHR(13)
ENDIF
ENDIF

I know VFP HELP lies but perhaps I'm wrong in this case.

CHRSAW() reads keyboard buffer and I supposed keyboard buffer is independent from keypressed event. So if I "see" for next key I should know there are keystrokes pendent of being processed.

If so I don't perform a KEYBOARD CHR(13) command.

The easy way is telling my client:

Since now you must press enter!

And the easy answer is telling me:

The other system (DOS CLIPPER) was better!!!

Any idea?

Thank you.
