I am trying to come up with a way to read a barcode using a wedge scanner, drop the value into a text field and then fire an enter event for the textbox. There is very little information
to be found about doing any of this expecially for c# programmers.

Thanks
 
You normally have nothing to do except being sure that an input control like
the textbox has the focus.

Try to read barcodes when NotePad has the focus. If you see the actual data
appears on the screen then get back to your own application, set the focus
on a textbox and scan.

I've done this, but get strange results. Sometimes I get the code, others I get just part of the code. I would also like to capture the code when it is scanned. I am unsure of the best event to fire when scanned.

Thanks
 
Do you have problems when you try to scan and NotePad is the application in
focus?

Before trying to debug your application, be sure you can read barcode
without any problem.

Can you please provide the Manufacturer and Model of the Wedge Scanner? I
have experience with troubleshooting scanner problems.
