Power Apps USB Barcode Scanner 

I just want to say man. You really had me my day with this video. I didn’t know it was possible to scan on power apps from a computer. This will help me a lot with a work project

Perfect timing on the vid! Working on an inventory system and this was very helpful

Wish you'd posted this a year ago! At least I was able to make my code better, thanks to you, thanks Shane!

This is right on time! We have an IT inventory system that I am trying to move away from and this is exactly what I'm looking for. The barcode scanner on the phone didn't work as well as expected, but I'm hopeful this will. Thanks!

Hey Shane , Gino’s dad here . This is exactly what I needed . I am getting ready to scan in all my mechanical equipment at my building that I manage. Great info .. thanks !

Awesome! It is a great complement to the barcode Scanner on mobile devices. Thank You for sharing!

Thanks for the video!! It was really helpful for the project I'm working on at the company. We were almost buying a tablet to use scan functionality. With this proposal we can keep monitors that we already have at the factory. Tks again!!

Great content as usual, Shane; thanks for sharing!

Thanks Shane; great as usual.

OMG this is what I need In this moment, I’m working on a tooling inventory app!!... I’m your fan. Regards from Mexico!!

Nice one! Thanks for another useful video!

Hey Shane, great content. I wonder if you have the video of the app you created to for inventory. I want to check a barcode serial number against a sharepoint list.

Good morning, Shane. I can make an inventory that can create sequential barcode reading and quantity validator with the key read on the app screen.

hi shane, amazing tutorial i have a question: we're using a similar power app but in a scanner that looks like a phone. how can I disable the keyboard from popping up?

you are the bessssst , you just saved me a lot of time to do my project

Hi Shane, On the beginning I would like to thank you for your last tip :) You saved my day. I have another problem and I believe you can help. I have created Sharepoint form in Power Apps. I have question in the form and possible answers are 1,0,N/A. Is it possible to display only "Yes", "No", "N/A" instead of 1,0,N/A. So for example when I select "Yes" and submit form I can see on sharepoint list 1. I'm trying to migrate form from infopath when it was set up somehow. Thank you. Regards, Pawel

It’s helpful, please could you help me to specify the type of barcode data like Y010210. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible set this field only for the USB scanner and disable manual keying option? You are awesome and your videos are so clear and crystal.

Hey Shane, one question. Why ColScan gives me an error? Is your list in share point? pls help. Greetings from Peru

Hello do u have any idea how we can use power apps ...for opening excel sheet from share point if we scan qr code or bar code...if yes could you please send procedure step by step

Hi Shane, Thanks for the video also I have a request please do a dedicated video on Canvas app like "Wall Mart" where they can sell goods by scanning goods barcode we will get all data relating to the product. If this video done by you that will be great help for all of us. Thanks and love in advance❤️❤️

Hi Shane, Great tutorial. Do you have a way around hiding the pop-up keyboard when using an 'input text box' while using a mobile device and not PC? Cheers, Alex

Trying to figure out how I can use this at school. I want to create an app where when I scan the student ID, it will show me the time the ID was scanned, the student's picture (which is in a SharePoint list) and also assign a random seat number between 1 through 60 that refreshes at 8 am the next day. I have looked at various barcode scanner app and can't figure out a way to combine them.

How about a video on Getting Started with Powerapps Framework ?

We look after a Dental Service that send the tools external to clean , each tray has a barcode so better tracking of the tools going in and out this will be perfect.

Thanks for the Video! I'm new on Power Apps and this videos are helping me a lot.. I have a quick question. How about if you want to also add an item to a sharepoint list on top of showing the collection on the gallery? . I don't want my users to press a submit button or anything. the workflow would be we scan the QR Code it shows on the screen but also creates a new Item on sharepoint

Thank you, How compare data from scan value and patch to SharePoint list.

bro , some time we need to get scanning one barcode and this barcode having not only one information ,,, some time 3 some time 4 and so on ,,, but question is how we after scanning this code we distributed the information that comes from the code to deferent field properly because it only on barcode containing multiple information , like the name , phone number , age , other ,,, this is my question?

Hi Shane, I like the way we quick scan items here, quickly building a list. I'm trying to find a way to extract this list and save the data in a CSV or a sharepoint. I'm experimenting with your video of copying a record and making multiple copies once moved into a second gallery.. Maybe that gallery could be tied to the cloud since the first is tied to ColScans Text Input. Any help would be appreciated if you got some ideas.

Idea for future videos: create barcode/ qr codes in your app to scan or store them as picture in your database.

hi Shane, great video really. We have document scanners at the office and We have a whole bunch of documents to scan and digitize them i.e kind of after scanning tag them or index them. Can you do any video on that or can power apps handle that? That be able to recognize the scanners and scan the dos into a list, then tag them or index them for later search and enquiries etc. can power apps handle that?

Hi Shane. Great video! Can we use the camera to scan barcodes or qr codes?

Has anyone tried this using the component library? The textInput is different as it doesn't have a "DefaultValue" and a "Text" value. It just has TextInput.Value. It wants to collect the values at each keypress.

Hey Shane, Great video, I have a RFID Scanner that acts as a keyboard. When i read the tag it show a bunch of Hex how can i convert it to decimal.

well, I have a requirement in which I have to scan the barcodes from a Barcode Device.. (it could be Wireless, how will I be able to connect it with) PowerApps..???

Hi Shane, Can you use multiple scanners in Power Apps? For example one scanner will add to one collection and the other to a second collection.

Hey Shane, I’m using a Zebra TC52 and building an app for checking in and inventory management. Zebra’s DataWedge utility has an intent output feature to send/broadcast the captured barcode programmatically. Is there a feature in Powerapps to utilize this? I want to ensure the barcode input goes to a specific field, which may not happen when it’s set as a keyboard output. TIA.

Would it also work with an integrated scanner. I have a Zebra TC26 and wana use the integrated scanner.

hi Shane thanks for yours videos, I have this need currently : I need to scan a serial number and confirm if this exist on a list (list by trailer), using a movil, do you have something similar I can use to learn whow to scan and compare ?

Hey Shane is it possible to do a similar operation with a desktop (flatbed) scanner?

Hi, Shane, I'm trying to find a way to do this in a model-driven app on a form. I know I can add the business card reader but the barcode scanner is a bit more tricky to find?

nice tutorial, but strange why by me barcode collects to collection only when i click somewhere else in app. OnChange is not working. Do all as in video.

BARCODES ROCK!! 🥳

Thanks Shane. This was fun to watch. Not sure how I can convenience my IT Staff. Do you have any ideas on a app that I can showcase in Hackathon project in my office. I Will buy you a coffee if that application gets appreciation /or wins prize from my line manager. XOXOXO

Did you configure scanner itself to press enter after the scan is performed? I made exactly same as you video but in order to get data into collection i have to hit enter or mouse press somewhere out of textinput

Hi Shane did powerapps ever fix the autoscan feature? I'd like to be able to scan multiple barcodes.

Hey Shane, Quick question on the barcode scanner, will the bar code scanner be functioning same even if we use a wireless bluetooth barcode scanner. Thanks in advance.

Hi Shane, can make a video about creating pdf with barcode or print document with barcode? Highly appriciated. Best Nuin

The firing of OnChange event seems a bit off. The event is not triggered until you tab/enter out or select another field on the form....!

Hey. What about if customer wants a wireless scanner and can't use phones. How could this work with powerapps?

How did you connect the scanner to the PA text control?

Dude can you tell me how you put the lateral bar?

Quick Thursday tip idea: sending auto emails pending on the status of a column in a SharePoint list. To only send when that item is changed not the whole item - pending email 1 closed email 2 etc

hi Shane, great video as always! just couple of questions, ① i test it with my scanner(not the one in your video); it didn't quit the editing current item automatically , for example , if Barcode A=123,Barcode B =456,if i scan them continuously , the text turns out to be 123456, rather than item1=123; item2=456 it just won't quit editing i have to click the finish button on the screen(BTW it just come out nowhere , i didn't put it on my screen) ② the setfocus function seems to fail in my app, I have to click the input control manually, i don't know how to fix it...

Thanks. Toan

Hi Shane, this video was just what i looked for! I have a weird experience with this though, when I try to scan as fast as I can it can break the scanning, so some barcodes only shows up with half the numbers, and some are left empty. Have anyone else experienced this?

First thing I always do before watching is like the video.

Is there an option for barcode scan in portals?

Hello there.. can the scanner work with a tablet? Amazon fire tablet
