Visual FoxPro barcode scanner application uses accept command for barcode collection via RDP:
    _screen.FontSize=20
    _screen.FontName='Arial'
    DO WHILE .T.
    accept 'Barcode' to cBarCode
    if empty(cBarCode)
      exit
      endif
    insert into barcodes value (cBarCode)
    ENDDO
Scanned barcode font size is too small (see https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZJPbF.png ).

How to increase displayed scanned barcode 123456 font size?

Only ACCEPT prompt font size can changed.
Re-writing application using @ GET commands or Forms is huge work.

recommends to use INPUTBOX() but this hides whole mobile screen.

Maybe there is FoxPro code for command line data entry which uses INKEY() or something other to mimics this command?
Or can some Windows api function or external dll called for this?
