MC3100 Scanner Programming

Question

We are using Motorola MC3100 Mobile Computer, Barcode scanners. running Windows CE6.0

To program these we intend to use Lazarus/FPC and indeed we have produced a test app that works on the device.

Our problem is that we do not know how to access/activate the scanner engine so that the scanner activates and returns the value of the scanned barcode.

We are aware of a SDK from Motorola which works only with Visual Studio 2008, but of course this would require purchase then development time in a completely new environment.

We thought that there may exist a DLL library that will allow us to perform the function we need but so far, after a lot of looking, we have not had any luck.

Anyone had any experience with this (or similar) or have any tips for us to research further. We are now at a dead end.
