wrong approach!
adding an enter or whatever key to the barcode is the responsability of the
barcode reader
all decoders provide for adding leading and trailing characters as well as
complete formatting of the barcode message
if the barcode is read through a keyboard interface then you do not need an
end-of-barcode message
just trap all keys in the formshortcut event
see if the time between 2 characters is between a certain interval and
construct the barcode with the keys trapped
i'm doing this for 6 years now without any problem at all

start by examining the barcode decoder manual
it should give you the info you want
like i said, adding a prefix or postfix character is the responsability of
the barcode decoder
if you want to print an EAN13 code then you have no means of adding
characters in the code to generate an enter key for example
