Like the other person said, most barcode scanners are keyboard wedges. This means that they are, in fact, a keyboard. There is no way to tell the difference between the user hitting keys on the keyboard and the key data comming from the scanner. To Windows, and your app, they are exactly the same. So, to answer your question, no there isn't a way to do what you want using the scanner you have.

There are, on the other hand, barcode scanners out there that work on Ethernet that may do what you want, but they cost considerably more money to buy.
