Using "Scan multiple" barcode scanner and apply certain logic while in scan mode

Hello,

I cannot find any solution to this:

I want to make sure to check which stocks are on my list. If I scan and I get a confirmation that this stock is really on my list I go on check for the next label.

When I would use the "Automatic Scan" Mode, it would take such a long time, because I need to activate the Barcode Scan after every scan.

Is it possible in the Scan Mode "Scan multiple" to scan several into the temporary list, while also checking if its an actual item which is on my list? That way I stay in the Scan Mode and also got the barcode checked.
If the check only can occuring after the "Submit" Button, then its too late because after for example scanning 20 items I don't know which one was not on my list. I have to sort them out immediately after each scan.

Best regareds.

I found out that the Scan Multiple mode only delivers the data back to the app after completion of the scans. I found out because I added a timer that checks the output of the scanner every second and notifies me of any change. But this only steps into action after you close the scanner. So no luck there. What you could do though is to restart the scanner after every check automatically. Would this work for you?

@RogierE , thank you for your response.

I already saw that post, unfortunately it won't help me, because the "newer" Barcod Reader (not BarcodeScanner) cannot be selected like "Select(BarcodeReader1).
Only the old barcodeScanner could be selected that way.
