Hi
I have an RSView32 program which was writing data to some remote screen using the PCs serial ports.
It was done in VBA using using a Windows 98 computer.
code was ..
FileNumber = FreeFile()
Open "COM1" For Output As FileNumber
Print #FileNumber, Chr(0); Chr(Lines); Chr(Address); sCom; Chr(CheckSum)
'Print #FileNumber, Chr(0); Chr(13); Chr(10)
Close FileNumber
This seems simple and I think the comm port setting were whatever were being used in the control panel.
I would now like to do the same using RSView32 running on WinXP. I think the way serial ports are handled has changed a lot. From my reading on the INet I might have to use MSCOMM32.ocx activeX control. I'm a bit at sea, can anyone help?
