Triggering scan with ScanBarcode() vs BarcodeScanner control

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I was using ScanBarcode() up until today when I discovered it was no longer supported.

My scenario is that I have a dropdown that changes and depending on the value selected, there might be a need to scan a barcode. If that is the case, I was calling ScanBarcode() and saving the result to a variable.

Now as far as I can tell there is no way to trigger a Scan other than the user clicking on a BarcodeScanner control. Select(BarcodeScanner1) would be obvious but it's not supported.

    Hello @sopatte ,

     

    Thanks for your feedback, we've added support for the Select function and it should be available late march.
