Title: handscanner USB
Post by: speedhead on November 29, 2016

Hi,

Has someone done any testing with a handscanner (USB) and how can purebasic can read input from the scanner.
I have done this in python but not in PB.

best regards

I guess you run the wrong PureBasic Version. Will test the code tomorrow.

Have you tested *vTable.l instead *vTable.i
Try long,  not integer.
Will test it later
