A TextBox only has one way for you to get at it's data - TextBox.Text

Nobody will just send source code like that. Is this some sort of code charity?

Have you used search? i have and there are several questions in the pogramming boards relating to this.

Here is one example

Basically the scanner will just inject a string into the keyboard stream.

So it could be as simple as ensuring text box has the focus and then activate the scanner, or it could be a lot harder, and you may have to use SDK's / API's from the scanner OEM.

Go investigate, don't just scrounge.
