hi guys ,
i develop a Point of Sale application and i have to use barcode , i searched a lot about using barcode in WPF application and i found that barcode act like keyboard so when i scan a barcode a keydown Event is fired (as a key of keyboard is press) the problem that can not distinguish between keyboard press or barcode press i want to get just the code pressed by barcode and ignore the keyboard press
i found many articles talking about that talking about (Raw input Api) and others says may i deal with time consumed to scan the Code (barcode is faster than the keyboard )i cant treat with (Raw input API) can not understand it , and also the second solution is not acceptable for me (i think it is not logic to make all my operations depend up on the time ) , i found this article talking about the problem

thanks in advanced
