I am working on an RMS AddOn that requires me to catch whenever an item is not found in the database and search for it on an external database. Is there a way to do this in a Hook? For now, I am using the RefreshDisplay Hook to catch any change in the display. But I cannot find any variable that hold the last entered ItemLookupCode, even if the item is not found in the database. Any help is appreciated.
How to get the last scanned or entered item lookup code?

You have a big problem. To do what you want, you would essentially have to write your own POS interface. You need to capture the scan *before* RMS decides to throw it away as not found. There are a couple of interface replacement add-ins out there. You might want to check around and see if any thing has the features you want before diving into development.

I solved this but creating a keyboard hook and save last scaned value code in windows registry.
