Barcode scanners usually come as either Serial connection or keyboard wedge. If yours has a ps2 connection it will be of the keyboard wedge type. All the ones i have seen require some sort of setup which is normally done by scanning codes from the book that comes with it (Setting character sets and leading character sort of thing).

What this means is that whenever you scan a barcode the output should appear in whatever application you have open eg notepad, word or even outlook. This means that what you need to do is capture the string into a textbox so typically you could put a mesaage on screen sating "Scan Product" and set the focus to an invisible textbox ready to accept the input (can be invisible if you want but it must have focus).

You will need the setup books or you wont be able to set the character set or set a character to prefix the actual barcode so your application knows there is a barcode.

In general keyboard wedge scanners are pretty easy to set up and use so read the documentation with the device and you should have no problems.
