>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.

If you set it to readonly you'd get back dings and 'control is readonly messages'. Instead control in keypress.

Why would you need to swipe twice???

When swiping a card user doesn't press Shift,Ctrl, Alt keys.
