RE: [flexcoders] What I wish Flex/Flash Player could do...

Also, there are plenty of “generic” COM port-to-keyboard wedge applications out there.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Theodore E Patrick Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 9:16 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] What I wish Flex/Flash Player could do...   The best way to test a wedge driver is with a Text Editor.   Open NotePad Set the focus into Notepad Swipe a Card, Scan a barcode, Read an RFID.   If the wedge driver is working, the reader should rapidly type a long string of characters into notepad. The string has a set of delimiters that correspond to encoding. It is very easy to parse these values into something meaningful with just String.split.   It is typical for most input devices to ship with a wedge driver. This provides the simplest integration as each of these devices can be viewed as just a very fast keyboard.   http://www.google.com/search?q=keyboard+wedge+driver   http://www.programbl.com/   Plus the free ones that ship with the devices!   Cheers,   Ted ;) -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
