Keyboard Wedge

Hello

I am looking for a piece of software to be built that takes information from a barcode scanner and sends it through the keyboard buffer of the operating system so that the computer thinks the information has been sent via the keyboard.

The software should prefix the barcode information with “SCANNER1#”, “SCANNER2#”, “SCANNER3#” or “SCANNER4#”.

“SCANNER1#” = COM1
“SCANNER2#” = COM2
“SCANNER3#” = COM3
“SCANNER4#” = COM4

This software should be easy to install and run in the background. It should copy itself to the Startup folder and run in the background each time the computer starts.

It needs to go in the system tray and they must have the option to close the program by right clicking the icon which stops it working in case of any conflicts.

It should also install any dependencies such as “mscomm32.ocx”, etc upon installation.

Cheers
Chris
