Re: parallel port with c++

In VC++ 2005 I used CreateFile function for accessing toserial port,I see in the MSDN help of VC++ that you can open open ports as files and close them also,you can also use ReadFile and WriteFile to read and write to communication port(COM: for serial port and LPT for parallel port).

Itest on VC++ for serial port works ok,it also works in pocket pc with embedded VC++ 4.
I hope this help you.
