Use barcode scanner to fill a text input

Posted on by bgeorge76

I'm working on an app where I have a text input for a Part ID (inpParID). The backend data source in a Sharepoint list and, of course, the input is writing to it. I would like to use the barcode reader, if possible, to write to that text input, but so far have been unsuccessful.

I've assigned the OnScan property to a variable (varBarcode) and then
- Writing the variable to the Default property of the inpPartID
- Writing the Default property of varPartID as If(IsBlank(Parent.Default), varPartID, Blank())

Am I going about this the wrong way or is it even possible to write to an SP List from the barcode scanner?

Hi @bgeorge76

Recently I have created a inventory app with the Barcode Scanner.
To select the ID I would suggest the following in the OnScan property:

Set( varBarcode, First(BarcodeReader.Barcodes).Value // BarcodeReader is the name of the control );

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

Thank you. This seems like a step in the right direction, however, the barcode is filling in the text input, but not writing back to my sharepoint list. It just returns a blank value.
