C++ builder 2007, scan in edit with barcode scanner

[Leite333]

Goodmorning

I have a simple application with one edit inside. So the user in this edit use a barcode scanner and scan. I have the above code

if(Key == '\n' ||Key == '\r')

checkCustomer();

So when it scans everything is ok. but when the user put a number from keyboard or letter i want to bring a message to him to use scanner with else.

all the code is on
Edit1KeyDown event

... I have the above code

But I don't see any code "above"!
Nor is there some code below! (well, two lines of some pseudo-code that do not make any sense!)

MessageDlg("THANK YOU FOR USE SCANNER",mtInformation,TMsgDlgButtons()<<mbOK,0);

else
{
MessageDlg("TRY SCANNER",mtInformation,TMsgDlgButtons()<<mbOK,0);
Edit1->Clear();
Edit1->SetFocus() ;
}

I wrote the above but its not right.

Would you explain how you know that it's not right? Just what you do and what you get. Did you debug your code? Is the handler really fired?

Besides, you have to inspect the Key value and see what data comes in it. You really sure there must be '\n' or 'r' and not virtual key codes?

And the last but not least. There's no need to be rude with the people that are trying to help. If you see they fail to understand you, you re-phrase, or provide some more detailed description, but keep being nice.

I don't see any "onkeypress" code here, nor is your code properly formatted!

Well, if you ignore all my requests to clarify your problem then I should give up.
Good luck!
