Hi all, i just purchased a magtek barcode scanner which you can swipe a credit card or id card through. It connects via USB which was plug in ready and is acting like a keyboard. Therefore i didnt have to create any barcode class library or anything like that. Currently i have my program focused on the textbox in which i want the data to be placed and that is also working correctly. When i swipe a card it populates the textbox with data and pulls the customer's record. Where i'm stuck is i don't know how to tell if there was a physical swipe of a card but the barcode scanner couldn't read it. So that i can have an error message pop up stating that my program couldnt read your card. Does anyone have any experience or idea of this? I've tried physically swiping a card through that has no magnetic strip to see what happens but nothing happens.
Thanks.
Thanks.
