Re: Win x*p problem

I've heard many of this kind of problem
But actually i don't know how to solve it detailly. I just know that in windows 2000, NT, XP you must access the windows API function in it's kernel. Not applying the data directly using outp or the other command, it;s useless. Unless you made your program in 16 bit mode like pascal, old C or even Assembler. I often made small programs using Assembler to access port and it's work on mentioned above OS. So here is the idea : You made your own program, made 1 macro (function) to execute a 16 bit (DOS) based program to control the ports directly (use FCB like this -> 'c:\myprog.exe 200' where 200 is the value that you want to emit to the port). This strategy works only for output, nor the input.
Hope this helps you. If it can't go to :arrow: www.programmersheaven.com, many solutive sources there!

Hi,

There are freely available .dll's you can use for this, and commercial ones. Try this:

Re: Win x*p problem

Using Serial Ports in windows is pretty similar to handling files. Why do it the hard way? You have an OS (Although it is just Windows) that can handle the hardware IO for you. Don't re-invent the wheel, use it!

msdn link for more info:

if you wanna do it the 'easy' way use a dll (but then don't complain if it doesn't exactly do what you want!)
