Hi Cetin,

Do you think you can help me on this?


PMFJI,
Differentiating a swipe from a manual entry is not an easy task. Practically both sends scan codes to keyboard input. I've done that but as I said not very easy and debatable. Relies on ideas:
-A human cannot type as fast as a swipe card input
-A human cannot type keys with regular intervals as swipes do
(If you check timings swipe input per character are exact multiples of one another character - usually N and 2N)
==> I need not to be mannually input, the textbox should be like a readonly, I will be conducting a test for swiping a magnetic card this afternoon, the text control is read only.

-A swipe input should not be a single input (CTRL+V)
==> The code I just posted needs to swipe a card twice..

-Modifier keys are up with swipes

==> can't get what you mean by this..
Not a total answer but gives starters I think.>>

Thanks.
