Barcode Question
I am creating a training where the trainee will be using a barcode scanner to enter information. How do I setup my record feature to utilize a barcade scanner?

You will need to find a third-party plugin that translates the bar code to information that can be treated in Captivate. Using JS it would be possible to store that information in user variables in Captivate and then you can use it as any other value. I don’t see the relation between the result of a mouse click or movement to a barcode however.
AFAIK that feature is not built in Captivate out of the box. You will have to look first of all to third-party software to get the information from the scanner, then use JS or advanced actions to do what you want with that scanner. You do not tell what you want to do with the scan infor.
We are training on using the bar code scanners to input information and want to use the scanners in a software simulation. Basically use the scanner as a input tool like we use the mouse.
