Not a whole lot of information on the forum on this.
I was experimenting with the barcode objects in the library in LC ES2 (9.0.0, Windows 7) and it looks like they turn manually entered data into barcodes.
Is the reverse function available?
To put it more specifically, what I'd like is to be able to scan a barcode label and then have the numbers the barcode represents appear in a field, without the barcode image.
Can this be done in Designer, or do I need an extra piece of software/module to do this?
You need a barcode scanner to do that .....put the cursor in a field , scan the barcode and it stuffs the keyboard and the value of the barcode appears in the field.

This works but not completely...unfortunately the form doesn't read asterisks, and returns all lower case. So the data AA1234*5590 scanned on the barcode returned as aa12345590.
I don't suppose there is a way to set the field to format to all CAPS letters?
what kind of barcode are using? i think the asterisk problem is a scanner configuration problem.
You can capitalize all letters with scanner configuration too or modifing form for capitalize on exit event, for example.
If using PDF417 (or paperformbarcode), use TAB field separator without fieldnames, so its easy capture data with a HID scanner and a blank form focused at first field. must have same order-tab as barcode sequence. aware radio and check objects for this solution.
The following has evaluated to null or missing:

Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it.

Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??
