Then you have a problem. all the Keyboard emulating BCRs I have seen read teh BC and just provide a datastream as if the barcode data had been typed by the user.

private void YourForm_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    ScannerFirstKeyValue = e.KeyChar.ToString();

    if (this.ActiveControl != this.YourTextBox)
    {
        YourTextBox.AppendText(ScannerFirstKeyValue);
    }
    this.ActiveControl = YourTextBox;
}
