We are trying to emulate a POS keyboard in order to integrate an application with an existing Point of Sale application. We ran across this software: Virtual Serial Port Kit It basically creates a virtual serial port pair so that data send to COM1 can come out of COM4 and vice versa.

I'm writing an application for a POS and using POS for .NET. I've found that when I call the WaitForDrawerClose method, while the application will sit and wait unresponsively until the drawer is closed (as desired), any clicks elsewhere seem to pile up in the queue and all fire once the drawer has been closed. How can I make my app stop ...

The POSprinter is normally of type BTP 2002NP but may differ. The common thing is that they are all connected via COM-port and NOT usb, so no drivers installed at all on the client. Can I send some...

Do you have any ideas on how to successfully market a Point of Sale solution, or any software solution targeted at small businesses for that matter? I'm interested in some kind of dedicated advertising channels, because I presume it wouldn't be of much use to advertise on software websites, as the solution is not targeted at most end-use...

Hi I'm trying my hand in the food industry. I'm going to be developing my epos system in house. All the fancy touch screen systems cost an arm and a leg.
