How to integrate the scan barcode option on my WinCE application?


I'm new to the CE environment, I'm creating an application for a mobile computer with a barcode scanne that uses Windows CE 5.0 (Motorola mc3000).

I'm using VS 2008 and I'm programming with C#.

I made a litte demo project that it runs successfully on the device. My application have a scan task so it need to use the Barcode reader: Access to the scan hardware, make it run, read the returned result and display it into a textBox!

The problem is that I don't know how to integrate the scan part into my application.

Any help on this?


Solution

  • Well, first step would be to look in the documentation for the Motorola MC3000. I don't know if there is one for the MC3000 but I know that in the Motorola EMDK for .Net they provide quite a few sample C# VS2008 projects and a couple of them are for barcode reading.
