Hi @yaki159 

Do you want the scan to san multi barcodes?

You can use collection to achieve that.

Could you please firstly refrence the reply for this case, it is very clearly:

Is it possible to keep the scanner open until a button is pressed?

For example, I have 150 barcodes to scan. Each time I scan, it returns from the camera screen to the "Scan" button. This is extremely time consuming.

The solution would be to keep the barcode camera open until I have finished scanning all 150 codes.

Thanks

Hi @iko_chen ,

You can easily keep it on (except you have to close the app to close the scanner) but putting on the end of your OnScan code

Select(YourBarcodeScannerControlName)

(replace with your control name). This simply activates it again after the scan.

You can get a bit more sophisticated by putting starting a 5 second (or so) Timer Control (hide it if your want) and a Button saying Stop Scan the properties of all would be as follows - at the end of your OnScan code - sets Variable vRescan to drive the options

UpdateContext({vRescan:true})

The Visible of the Button - shows button if vRescan is true

vRescan

The OnSelect of the button - Sets vRescan to false if pushed (before timer expires)

UpdateContext({vRescan:false})

The Timer - Duration - 5 seconds - use whatever you want

5000

The Start of the Timer - starts when vRescan is set to true (same time button is visible)

vRescan

The OnTimerEnd  of the Timer - checks if someone has pushed the button (and set vRescan to false) -  if so stops, the scanner does not open. If not pushed, opens the scanner again. Also sets vRescan to false waiting for the next scan to end.

If(
   vRescan,
   Select(YourTimerControlName)
);
UpdateContext({vRescan:false})
