Support for Barcode Reader Hand Held Device in PowerApps.

Posted on by 12

Hello Team,

 

We have a requirement to integrate a Barcode Reader Hand held device into our web application. We are in the phase of developing a POC in Model Driven PowerApps and finding it difficult to get a support for integrating the Barcode reader device in PowerApps.

 

Could someone guide me on this subject or re-direct to documentation if available.

 

Regards,

Rajesh.K.S

    Hi @Rajesh_K_S ,

    Do you want to integrate the Barcode Reader Hand held device into a Model-Driven app/Canvas app?

     

    If you want to integrate the Barcode Reader Hand held device into a Model-Driven app/Canvas app, I afraid that that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

     

    Currently, integrating with Barcode Reader handware device is not supported in PowerApps Model-Driven app and Canvas app, if you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please consider submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas

     

    As an alternative solution, I think you could consider take a try with the Barcode Scanner control in PowerApps canvas app to achieve your barcode scanner functionality. After that, you could run this published canvas app in PowerApps Mobile App, then you could use Barcode control to scan barcode value through your Mobile device against the native scanner.

    More details about Barcode Scanner control in canvas app, please check the following article:
