I was trying to integrate a camera barcode scanner app with one of my application. I searched online and came across the command line barcode scanner called "Zbarcam".The problem is that it scans the barcode and displays the barcode in the command prompt window but i want it to display the scanned barcode where the cursor is placed i.e, inside a textbox.Is there a way to do that? Any ideas or suggestions is highly appreciated. Is there any other camera barcode scanner app that i can integrate with websites?

Most barcode scanners just scan the barcode and dump it to whichever control has focus.

This is called "keyboard wedges": Keyboard wedges, which is not the only way.
The inquirer is recommended to address to manufacturer's documentation.

You just need to use some barcode SDKs (input images -> output string results), and implement the solution you want.

Hey Surajit Das,
If you still have issues with Zbarcam, I can recommend you a good sdk for barcodes. You can find it here, its name is Ozeki Camera SDK. There is a pretty good description about that software, so I hope it will help you.
Good luck!
Regards,
Leon
