Hi guys im new in this wonderful world of pocket, i need to develop a simple
app to read barcode using a symbol 3090 handheld, but i dont know how to
enable barcode reading in my app, im using vs2005 to develop it, do i need
to configure something special at the handheld? or how can i enable barcode
reading from my app?

Hope someone can help me.

You're going to want to get the SDK for the device from Symbol; it'll
have what you need to drive the scanner. I use EVC4 to develop for
that device; it's CE.Net, and not Windows Mobile. In other words, I
don't remember whether you can develop using vs2005.

As the other poster said, go to the Symbol website and download the
SDKs and other materials for the device and OS. I'm using VS2005 with
a 3090 Win CE 5.0, but not using the scanner, so I can't help with
that.

I do suggest also using their device manager download kit to compile
new keyboard defs, it can customize the device a bit... especially if
the Green and Red keys don't do what you want.

You can use the SDK from Symbol, as earlier posts suggest. Or you can
use the keyboard wedge that _should_ come with each barcode scanner.
This is a program that redirects to barcode to whatever window has
focus. I use that method for most devices, and it works well. For more
info, use google (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to
look up
barcode
in this newsgroup. Or to look up
keyboard wedge
