[Gambas-user] How to catch a bar-code "Enter"

[Charlie]

When reading bar-codes the gun adds an "Enter" at the end. In a spreadsheet
if the focus was on cell A1 once the bar-code is read the focus will be in
cell A2 as if "Enter" had been pressed. 

In Gambas using gb.gtk toolkit this works: -

....
CatchBarcodeEnter = Key.Code
If Key.Code = Key.Enter Or CatchBarcodeEnter = 65293 Then
....

It does not work without the 65293 part.

This is not recommended as we are warned: -

"Never compare the value of this property with a numeric constant, because
the key codes may depend on the underlying toolkit. Always use the constants
defined in this class!"

Do you know how I might get around this?

Thanks,

Charlie
