Open UBS Cash Register
I am trying to open a cash register USB based but the OPen file #write statement does not recognize the device \l.ccr3.
example:
-----------------
Open ".\lccr3\" For Output As #1
Print #1, Chr(&H12)
Close #1
---------------
The manufacturer provided code in C but I do not know how to convert it into VB.
Any sugestions will be greatly appreciated
c code
-------------------------------
#include <windows.h>
//This sample is for Logic Controls USB POS deivces
int _cdecl main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
HANDLE hWrite = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
//open the USB port
hWrite = CreateFile(
"\\.\lccr3\",
GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL);
if (hWrite == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
return 1;
}
//write 5 bytes

int WriteLen = 5; // #bytes to write
int nBytesWrite;
char outBuffer[256];
int i;
for (i=0;i<WriteLen;i++)

Send Control Code To LPT1 To Open Cash Drawer
I use the following in a VB6 point of sale program to open the cash drawer.
Open "lpt1:" for output as #1
Print #1, Chr$(open code usually 0 or 7)
Close #1
It works fine, but if the printer on the same port is not turned on, everything locks up and I have to either re-boot or disconnect the printer cable to get it "un-stuck".
Is there a (hopefully simple) way to check the port and printer status directly to see if the printer is turned on and send a message to turn it on if it's off ?
Thanks..

Cash Register App - Need Help
I'm starting my next assignment in VB, but I'm having some problems. It's basically a 'Cash Register' type program, and it must be able to accept a quantity and unit price. Then, it must be able to display the price before and after tax. Finally, it must be able to add up all the subtotals with tax and give a final total. The whole thing seems pretty easy, but I dont know why my final total won't add up previously entered numbers.
I also want the add a 'reciept' feature that will display item, quantity, price per unit, unit subtotal (w/ tax), and total in a printable listbox, but I have no idea how to get this is appear.
Attached are my project files

Cash Register Polling.
Hi,
I try to poll many models of cash registers(Samsung,Sharp) using the serial port.No matter wich register I poll,I receive strings of datas that look like "ÿÖ£₧ÉæÆô" or "°".What is that and how can I convert that to text?
I have the protocols of communications,but I don't understand what that theory has to do whit that.Thank you for your help.
Cash Register Communication
I try to poll a cash register using the serial port.I receive strings of datas that look like "ÿÖ£₧ÉæÆô" or "°".How can I convert that to text?
Cash Register Interface
I am writing a program that will interface directly with a Samsung SPS-1000 cash register. The register is configured for POLLING on SERIAL port #1 at 9600 N-8-1. Using HyperTerminal, I am unable to send or receive any data. I have verified the cable as a normal serial cable in a Null-Modem configuration.
The purpose of the connection is to query the register for its internal data such as financials, inventory, etc. This data will then be fed into a database and accessed thru a GUI front-end for reporting.
Does anyone have any information that may help. There must be a list of commands that are used to communicate with the register.
Creating A Cash Register
Ok,
Here's the story. I am trying to create a POS screen for a project I'm working on. I'm trying to determine what control to use as the display of data/numbers.
I want the data to start at the bottom of the control and scroll upward each time the enter key is pressed.
I've attached a screen print to show you what I mean.
Thanks,

Need Help With Cash Register Application In VB.NET
I am supposed to build a Cash Register Application using Select Case statement. The Sales Tax needs to be calculated for the
amount purchased. I am supposed to add the sales tax to the subtotal and add the subtotal to the total. The Select Case statement
was used to enter the TaxRate and I think I am supposed to multiply the TaxRate by the TaxValue. I am having trouble with the button Enter key and the button Total key. When I enter a number such as $25.00, the $25.00 will show up in the subtotal, but when I enter $25.00 again it freezes up. Please help. I am new to VB and I really do not know what the heck I am doing.

Having Trouble With Array Cash Register Program
Im creating a GUI that simulates a cash register. It has 4 check boxes, that correspond to 4 text boxes. They are quarters, dimes, nickels, and dollars. When you click a checkbox that text box opens and lets you input the amount of coins or dollars. A label to the right displays the amount entered.
I also have 9 radio buttons which are the total of the item. The radio buttons and checkboxes are in arrays. Now, I have a button that calculated the Cash given by user - total and outputs number of quarters , nickels, and dimes to give back.

Open Cash Machine
hi
I'm sorry 4 all those who had misunderstood my question but i thought people out there would think in a more proffesional way.
Here's the case:
p.s
( the cash machine intended to be open are like those
in supermarkets or bookshops or even somtimes in hotels)
I work in a new company andwe had built an inventory and an accounting system that is used in lots of markets and hotels ,but some owners asked for the computer to be connected to the cash machine in order
to open the door automatically instead of manual method of entering numbers twice(once for the computer software and the other for the cash machine
to give back change or total sum of money)
p.s for those who care about the process being legal
i assure them that it can be only used when the person in charge insert the key into the machine)
if it is hard for you just move on for another thread...heh
however some may say that it depends on software used by computer to control the machine but i'm asking for either a standard method or for a previous experience in an kind of cash machines
any kind of help would be nice for such a long page
P.S where can i find the sense of humour some people
have when sending a reply ?? hehehehe
thanx

Cash Drawer Open Signal
I am messing with MS Serial Cash Drawer, trying to figure out how can one detect if the drawer is open or not.
I first check out their web site, but they provide information ( and a nice dll with neat explanations) for USB Models.
For the serial ones, the only information they provided in their user manuel is written in QBasic, which I unfortunately dont know anything about.
Below is the only information available in this model's manuel:
Drawer open signal
The Drawer Open Signal can be read by software as Ring Indicate (RI) ( pin 22 on the DB25 connector ). The signal is HIGH when the drawer is OPEN and LOW when the drawer is CLOSED. The following example shows how to read status from QBASIC on a comatible PC.
Code:
10 A1 = INP(&H3FE) AND (&H40) : IF A1>0
THEN PRINT "Drawer is open" ( for com 1)
10 A1 = INP(&H2FE) AND (&H40) : IF A1>0
THEN PRINT "Drawer is open" ( for com 2)
Any Ideas?
Thanks.
