redirect to std input

hi,
I have a win ce.net device that can read barcode labels.

A Evc DLL uses a com port to read the barcode string.

I'd like to send that string (from a vb.net program) over the standard
input or simulate the keyboard keystrokes.

Is it possibile in vb.net, and how ?

thanks

Search in the archives of the newsgroup for keybd_event() and
PostKeybdMessage(). Those are the native calls that you'll have to make to
do this.
