Bar Code Scanning In Delphi

Anyone know of any bar code scanning components for Delphi?  There are several
around to create and print a bar code label but I cannot find anything to help
capture the image from the scanner and convert it to a data field that I can
store, compare, etc. in a database.  Thanks!

We have a little handheld barcode reader that wedges in between the computer
and the
keyboard. Scanning a barcode inserts the numeric code in to the keyboard
buffer, exactly
as if someone had typed it in. No components needed for this.

That's how "most" barcode scanners work, also interestingly enough
that's how "most" credit card scanners work too.

Linux! Because a PC is a terrible thing to waste.

Re:Bar Code Scanning In Delphi


Wasp (http://www.waspbarcode.com/) makes an inexpensive bar code scanner
that I used back in university for a senior project.  It reads barcodes into
the keyboard buffer (like most barcode scanners).  It comes with software to
generate bar codes and can be easily integrated into a Delphi project.  Hope
this helps.
