Here is a program to look for any installed serial ports (Com1 - 16).
For each port found, an attempt is made to send and receive data,
Actually, the data sent is a standard modem request that should return
the modem's information if the port has an attached modem.

NOTE: This uses several WinAPI calls

The code includes examples of:
Defining the DCB
Setting the COMM State
Setting the COMM Timouts
Setting the COMM Buffers
Purging the COMM Buffers
Sending data to a COMx port
Receiving data from a COMx port
Panel and ListIcon gadget handling
SplashMsg (thanks to Vanleth and PB)

An executable and the source code is available <a href="http://www.electrofile.com/purebasic/in ... P">HERE</a>.

This looks Great

Thanks. I will download it right now.

Hi,

Thanks for the examples. nice work.

If you want to see some more examples go to the Microssoft site and serach for MTTTY and 'Allen Denver'. He did a very good job on Serial I/O and OVERLAPPED I/O and the creating of threads and events so your interface is not blocking.

MTTTY is C but you can learn a lot of it.

David M. Hitchner wrote ModCOMM a bunch of VB routines.
