Motorola handheld terminal barcode scanning in background

There are a lot of applications (like DataWedge, Terminal Emulator, etc..) that may use barcode scanner on handheld terminal like MC9090 with Windows CE. All this application connects to barcode scanner resources and gets data from it.

Is it possible to connect to barcode scanner while different application is using this scanner? Is it possible with Motorola .net C# EMDK or some different way? From my experience ehen some application is using barcode scanner and my application try to use this barcode scanner the exception is fired.

My goal is to write Windows CE application that will work in background and collect all data scanned by any different application.

I finally found the answer: it is possible using Motorola EMDK. The scanner must be opened in Monitor mode. And then use scanner API as normal.
