hello, I would like to read a barcode in a cell.  
the reading works well, but at the end of the reading I would like the scripts to face the equivalent of enter so that the value is sent to a tag, I try with  
if event.propertyName == ‘text’:  
but i have a mistake  
“object has no attribute ‘PropertyName’”  
could someone help me.  
thank you in advance
