Auto submit a page after scan in Pocket IE

[sgk_17]

How can you automatically do a submit after a scan event in Pocket PC? Right now we scan something and have to press the enter button. It would be nice if we could just auto submit the form. Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question - what is a scan event? I've done a fair amount of PPC programming and have not heard of this. Admittedly, I have mostly only used C#/.NETcf though.

We have handheld devices with a barcode scanner on them. So when a barcode is scanned it populates a field. We haven't figured out how to hook into that and submit the page.

Hmm... I can't think of any obvious way to do that, though you might try contacting the developer of the barcode scanner's drivers. It's possible there might also be a macro-type program for Windows that could do it, but that would be difficult to set up correctly because I'm not sure how you would detect when the scanning is "finished."
