Create blank form with bar code reader

[DennisJones]

I have built an application which uses a bar code reader to populate various boxes on a form - it's a simple retail app based on the Northwind. This works OK but to create the next record I have to get the user to click on a "next customer" button on the form. What I want to be able to do is scan in a code which will do this automatically automatically regardless of where I am on the current form. Any suggestions?

thanks

Create a textbox or label on your form that has an OnClick Event then set the font to be the same as your barcode. In effect you are placing a barcode on the screen. The user then scans the barcode on the screen which fires the OnClick event of the control and runs the code behind the event.
