Question

How would it be possible to make a @Html.TextBoxFor( ) able to take a barcode scanner input but not a keyboard input?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

That is not really possible, since all the barcode scanner does is translate the barcode into readable text. There reaaly is no way to limit what input device you use to enter text.

        if (TextBox1.Text.Substring(0,2) == "##" && TextBox1.Text.Substring(TextBox1.Text.Length - 2) == "##")
        {
            TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Substring(2, TextBox1.Text.Length - 4);
            // or TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("##","");
        }
        else
        {
            TextBox1.Text = "";
        }
