I am trying to send a string over serial RS-232 to another

computer and

wanted to use VC++. Is there some sample code/template I

could follow ?



It is not very complicated... just somethign that opens

the port and writes

into it.... and closes the port.



Thanks

Sorry about the partial message. I hit the wrong button at the wrong

time.



Use CreateFile() to open the port, WriteFile() to write, and

CloseHandle() to close. To change baud rate, parity, and stuff, use

SetCommState(). Your documentation will have information on how to

use these functions. Particularly read the help file stuff on using

CreateFile with communations resources.

Take a look at naughter's CSerialPort class.
