We’re working on our solution, and trying to get magentic strip reader to work on our form. Is there a more effective way to capture the text input from the mag reader, other then setting focus to a swipe field and having the card swipe take place from there? If not, we’d love to get the process to auto activate after the swipe takes place. The problem is the on functions of the field don’t seem to work for us, because the swiper is reading 2 tracks and sometimes 3 tracks of data, and after each track we’re getting a return character. Is there any other methods anyone could think of to simplify this setup?
I don’t believe our readers allow us to modify the pre/post/mid characters. Is there a way in servoy would could just listen to for keyboard input looking for %
My approach would be to have a PRE-header to send a control-1 to servoy which can trigger a method then remove the returns from the reader message (or use a text area field) then parse it in one method. What reader do you use? does it not have any docs or drivers?
I’m looking into the JPOS idea, since I’ve used OPOS in the past. If I’m correct, wouldn’t this require that JPOS be installed/configured on each client that smart client would be running from? We’re trying to keep in tune with Servoy’s 0 deployement to the clients. I admit I’m no java expert so I may be looking at this all wrong, but I’m just a bit worried about writing against something that would lock us into a given client.
