Wow many welcomed changes, I will be upgrading out asset management app with this control in the future. This solves one of our biggest headaches with the old control which was the inability to scan items when auto-rotate was on, Thanks again.

shane the goat, i needed to add this to my app so i came looking for this tutorial. i knew who would have it, the best powerapps tutorials

Thanks Shane- I put this in an app for my coworkers to try! It is not currently connected to anything other than a collection, but they are having a great time scanning things. I am making a huge effort to eliminate keystrokes and this video was really helpful in understanding the general syntax for interacting with the control. I agree that it was really simple to use. Your stuff is always great. Thanks again!

Awesome. This is probably the feature that got me really excited about Power Apps in the first place.

I've seen similar questions above, and figured I'd add mine. How do I use the barcode reader to add a value to a text field, but that field also has a default of varRecord.ExistingData ?

Basically want to give the user the option to scan or type in.

[MrEk]

Oh yeah, I've got some ideas for this. Thanks Shane!

[turisabela]

Hey, Shane! Kudos! Nice video as always! Thanks for sharing ☺️!

[shivaprasadrao]

Thanks a lot Shane, you saved my week

[geneGda]

great lesson. I wonder how can I connect such barcode reader with excel file. f.e. after scanning the barcode the data from QR code will be transferred directly to existing excel file.

[peterl]

Great content! I love your work. Regards from Poland 👋

[stanyu]

Hi Shane, Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if you have another video where you show how to get this functionality to existing datasource (sharepoint list), not a new vertical gallery. Thanks.

[cathyrobichaud]

Hey Shane! Have you done a video on how to reset the barcode reader data back to blank after the data has been patched to Share Point?

[madsrosdahl]

First of all, thanks for the good videos.

I finally got the Barcode reader working.

How do I get it to retrieve information in a Sharepoint from the barcode

thanks in advance

[dlutchner]

Great video as usual. But I see you have a 3.5" Floppy Drive behind your keyboard. Is that where you save your Apps? 😜

[dudunek]

Record type may be useful. In some cases there are several different codes (types) placed close to each other.

[LoveDaisy]

Best video, Thank you, I ask something if scan to share point list how to guide.

[anbu]

As always very useful content and explained well thank you. Just an idea, Microsoft could add a Keyboard wedge mode to this scanner control as many companies and customers use USB/Bluetooth scanners, it will be very handy if this scanner control supports those out of the box.

[kman]

Shane can you use this to lookup existing records in dataverse or model driven apps?

[rishikrao]

Hi Shane, my camera doesnt seem to be working. Im met with a black screen within the app i have built. i can see the headers and torch function, however the screen not accessing the actual footage, please help?

[danieladroguett]

Hey! Thank you for your video. How do you make that barcode required? there is not property for that.
