Input multiple items using bar code scanner
« on: July 20, 2020, 10:18:07 AM »
Hi, Bruce

I thought I would ask about this at the next User Group.  I am trying to add multiple child records to a parent form using the bar code scanner.  Similar to the order form / items list examples we are familiar with.  I am trying to do it so that when the bar code is successfully scanned the input form is cleared and ready for the next item without the user having to click an 'Add' button on the browse list control.

If I have missed an example that does this or some documentation, my apologies. Just point me in the right direction.  Thanks.

For those following, Bruce showed how to do this in the July 22 User Group near the start of the session. It involves using a memory form with a child browse and a scannert type field.  At the Validate embed of the scanner field, add the new value to the browse table, refresh the browse table, clear the scanner field and its session value.
