    <p>Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible, at least not by using "only Java".</p> <p>Most barcode readers I've seen look just like a keyboard to the computer. If you're using a barcode reader that doesn't operate "as a keyboard", and can be used with the <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-141752.html" rel="nofollow">Java Communications API</a>, then you have some additional options here. Otherwise, I'm assuming that you're using keyboard-type scanners for the rest of this answer.</p> <p>If not within some software written to read the barcode reader output, I could open up Notepad, place the cursor within the window, scan the barcode, and the #'s will appear just as if I had typed them in manually.</p> <p>In order to determine that the entered characters came from the barcode reader rather than the keyboard, you'd need to interface at a lower-level with the OS to determine which input device was used. As far as I know, Java doesn't provide any API for this. You'd need to investigate using JNI, which would then have to be written and maintained per supported operating system.</p> <p>The other possibility is that some scanners will generate special header data as part of the scan. This may be configured into the scanner, or may be part of the barcode itself. In either case, a keyboard listener could be registered to listen for this data, then handle it appropriately. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well from a security perspective, because this means that there are other ways to repeat the input of this data without actually scanning the barcode. (For that matter, if security is a concern, barcodes are the wrong approach - as barcodes can easily be copied or generated.)</p>

    1. COThey still make RS232 / DB9 barcode scanners, maybe only pull data from COM1?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
