Has anyone tried the barcode scan for Kinetic MES? How do we catch the KeyPress event in a Kinetic form?
Priyanka,
I don’t know if this is what you are referring to, but at our company we found that when using a barcode scanner with ‘tab’ at the end of the scan, combobox fields were not working properly. It would open the combobox drop-down list, but not move to the next field.
We customized the Kinetic MES forms in Application Studio in order to replace the comboboxes with textboxes for this reason.

Hi Andrew. I think I’m looking out to see what event handles the KeyPress event on the form. How did you catch the scan? Did you use a new textbox field on MES for this purpose?
You could alter the barcodes to provide the needed amounts of tab(s) to land on the proper entry field. I added DataMatrix barcodes to our JobTravelers with embedded tabs for the current MES application entry screen for report quantity. Once they open the screen just scan the code and it will enter the fields up to the Qty amount then they enter that and click ok.
