Visual FoxPro barcode scanner application uses accept command for barcode collection via RDP:
_screen.FontSize=20
_screen.FontName='Arial'
DO WHILE .T.
accept 'Barcode' to cBarCode
if empty(cBarCode)
exit
endif
insert into barcodes value (cBarCode)
ENDDO
Scanned barcode font size is too small:
How to increase displayed scanned barcode 123456 font size?
Only ACCEPT prompt font size can changed. Re-writing application using @ GET commands or Forms is huge work. Answer in https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c3f9e89a-8917-4236-bc2c-474592f1af4c/increase-font-size-on-accept-input-and-wait?forum=visualfoxprogeneral
recommends to use INPUTBOX() but this hides whole mobile screen.
Maybe there is FoxPro code for command line data entry which uses INKEY() or something other to mimics this command? Or can some Windows api function or external dll called for this?
You may replace the accept
command by the following code
LOCAL M.Lastkey
M.Lastkey = 0
cBarCode = ""
? 'Barcode'
DO WHILE .T.
M.Lastkey = INKEY(0)
?? CHR(M.Lastkey)
IF M.Lastkey != 13
cBarCode = cBarCode + CHR(M.Lastkey)
ELSE
EXIT
ENDIF
ENDDO
So the complete code will look link:
_screen.FontSize=20
_screen.FontName='Arial'
DO WHILE .T.
LOCAL M.Lastkey
M.Lastkey = 0
cBarCode = ""
? 'Barcode'
DO WHILE .T.
M.Lastkey = INKEY(0)
?? CHR(M.Lastkey)
IF M.Lastkey != 13
cBarCode = cBarCode + CHR(M.Lastkey)
ELSE
EXIT
ENDIF
ENDDO
if empty(cBarCode)
exit
endif
insert into barcodes value (cBarCode)
ENDDO
