Paid request for custom extension
Hello, I purchaced MMF2 Developer a year or so ago to write small applications because of the ease of use. I have a personal software project for my stores customer database. I am going to issue magstripe cards to customers that pay for certain services. I have a card reader/writer and can program the data onto the cards but I need and extension to use in MMF where I can swipe the card and my software accept the data. The link from the device to MMF is something that I cannot program. My reader/writer is a usb/serial device. I am willing to pay a fee to anyone who has the knowledge and time to create this extension for me.
Please contact me if interested in this project.

You expect this to be done < or > $500? You may as well want to provide your hardware, and send it to the extension developer so he/she can test the hardware and/or analyse the drivers.
Re: Paid request for custom extension
I am not asking for a total package here. I need an extension that can interface with a USB-RS232 interface device. Once the link is made I simply need to collect data from the connection.
This would be simular to a USB GPS device I would think.
I am willing to pay for what I get. If what I get will do more, I will pay more.

What is the make ? I have a makstripe that I got working, make a VB6 app that uses the activex (which doesn't work in MMF2) to get the data and write a file to the H/D, MMF2 checks for if it exists and if it does, reads it, can delete it after and check again later

The unit is a EZ Writer from IDTECH www.idtechproducts.com

Re: Paid request for custom extension
If MMF was a little better in the Activex department it could run with an activex control.
Re: Paid request for custom extension
Thanks for your input on this everyone. I have managed to do exactly what I needed to do with a activex control from www.greenleafsoft.com Currently I am thrilled with the performance and capability of this control in MMF Developer.
Re: Paid request for custom extension
And at just £200, it's a bargain for all! :D ;)
Interestingly, it says it supports some USB devices too. If you got time inbetween making money and drinkin fine wines, could you have a looksee at what other devices it might work with? Could be a useful thing to remember if some of us ever start working in software dev.

Re: Paid request for custom extension
I agree, mmf needs to get its act together with activex, at very least don't add activexs to the list that wonk work.(GUH)
Re: Paid request for custom extension
That may not be a good idea. Imagine:

Lol. Sorry, that was harsh ;) :)
Re: Paid request for custom extension
You can download the control as a fully functioning demo and try it out. Seems to work great for me at the moment.

My experience with Magstripe readers in the past is that they will automatically insert the text from the striped card into any active and focused edit field. We had 3 at work and they all behaved in this way.
Maybe give it a try, open notepad and swipe
