Dear all,

We are using a Latest Posiflex 5300 Series POS machines which has a Line Display
Configured to COM4 , device name configured as CUSTPOLE.
I need a Executable file to print on this Line display from a Text file "CUSTP.TXT".
The Text File will have the Contents to Display on the Line Display.

I will populate the Text file from another application Like SAP.

Please let me know if anybody can help on this.

Hello.

Have a look at the Microsoft POS for .NET SDK
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/bb429024(v=winembedded.4).aspx[^]

The class you need to use is the LineDisplay class:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd125817(v=winembedded.10).aspx[^]

For example:

var explorer = new PosExplorer(this);
DeviceCollection devColl = explorer.GetDevices(DeviceType.LineDisplay); // find all display units
lineDisplay = (LineDisplay)explorer.CreateInstance(devColl[0]); // select the first one
lineDisplay.Open();
lineDisplay.Claim(1000); //try to open it with a timeout of 1 second.
lineDisplay.DeviceEnabled = true; // set it to enable
lineDisplay.DisplayText("Hello :)", DisplayTextMode.Normal); // display the text.
// clean up
lineDisplay.Release();
lineDisplay.Close();
