title: How to read input from a barcode scanner in vb.net without using a textbox?
body: <p>My program is already working fine, I use a TextBox to capture the barcode scanner input.  The purpose of my program is for time and attendance monitoring, the problem is I want to prevent users from using the keyboard to type in their ID's as it would render the barcode scanner and their ID's with barcodes useless.  </p>
  
  <p>*I already tried removing the keyboard from the computer and it did work, but the keyboard must not be removed as a requirement...</p>
