MagTek ActiveX Component for USB HID Device 1.0

MagTek ActiveX Component for USB HID Device is a Windows COM/ActiveX control from MagTek that simplifies integrating MagTek USB HID peripherals—such as compatible card readers—into desktop applications. It abstracts low-level HID communication and exposes a straightforward API with methods and events for device detection, data capture, and status monitoring. The component can be used from environments that support ActiveX/COM, including VB6, C#, VB.NET (via COM interop), C++, and scripting hosts.

Key capabilities:

• Event-driven capture of data from supported MagTek USB HID devices
• Device enumeration and selection when multiple readers are connected
• Access to captured data and basic device information
• Optional control of device indicators (for models that support it), such as LEDs or beepers
• Uses the standard Windows HID driver—no custom kernel driver required
• Compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows environments that support ActiveX/COM

Typical uses include point-of-sale, kiosk, and line-of-business applications that need reliable reader integration without managing raw HID protocols.
