vb6 to parallel port

Any body knows how to access parallel port in vb6 (for win98 and xp)

tnx

In the 32 bits operating system (like NT, 2000 & XP) you cannot access directly. You need a driver. There is a generic driver called "userport" (google it). You may need also to code assembly routines for input and output ports. The userport package come with examples.

write code in vb6 for parallel ports

look for jan axelson's parallel port complete book. or go to his site at www.lvr.com 8)

how to print com port in vb6

Hi

I have been using Richard Grier's OCX and it is simple and works well

parallel port xp vb6

Another way to acces the parallel port in VB6:

Create a DLL in Visual C++ and import this DLL in your VB program

More information about DLL's: www.boondog.com
Look for "Visual Basic (DLL's) and PC Interfacing" under the Tutorial link.

I know it will work under Win98 but I'm not sure if it will work under WinXP.

project using serial port

single DLLs dont work with protected mode OS like NT, W2K or XP
you must use a driver *.sys AND a DLL
asm routines no more work with such OS, dont loose time only to have a nice Win msg about protected mode

vb6 print to parallel port

Userport is a generic driver (.sys) that use some special undocumented function calls in windows to grant access to any port to any user. All you need is run the executable once. You need administrator rights to install.

No especial DLL is needed. You CAN use normal assembly instructions (like in the examples), that can be inside your code in VB or in an external DLL.

I have used it many times in NT, 2000 and XP with no problems.

The main drawback is that you have too much power so you can, for example, change bits in parallel port during a print session!

port95nt.exe conflicts

Hi,

Read EPE Mag. AUGUST 2001.
There is a simple project for parallel interface using VB .

PM if you don't have it.

Bye

HI,
I want to develope a home automation project using serial port, if any one have material relating this, send me at

with thanks

parallel port+xp+visual basic+userport+port32

You can use the "port95nt.exe". Google it.

It is a driver that can be user under Win 95, 98, NT, 2000 and XP.

There are examples programs in C++ and VB.

open lpt port vb6

I use a driver called WINIO. It works under windows 98 and XP

Now I need something from you guys.
first, I need to know at which speed the parallel port works.
I wanted to measure that speed with visual basic (because i need to use that language and I need to use the port.) but I dont have a wait routine with resolution in time (for ex: i need to wait 50 us os .1ms)

Do you have an open source code to do that?

send bits to parallel port

hi,
I think such speed with normal LPT not possible. With EPP/ECP and DMA function it may be...

access parallel port vb under windowsxp

Thanks sadat007 !

Ok. O would like to know how to use those modes of operation with visual basic.

However, I would like an accurate delay routine in VB.

Thanks !

visual basic 6.0 parallel port ex 02

As much I know not possible in VB... May be in VC but no experience of VC I have.
Sorry :?

how to access lpt port in vb codings]

However, I would like an accurate delay routine in VB.

Thanks !

in a module write,

Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

in your form within your code

' Suspend  program execution for 1 second (1000 milliseconds)
 Sleep 1000

this is the procedure in Vb to delay your program by Milliseconds,

it is just accurate and it won't hang up machine like for loops and stuff.

regards,

Sherif.

vb6 + read parallel port

Thanks sherif12 !

I red in a book that Sleep causes all the programs hang up, not oly the one who cares for me.

Is that true ?

 

[sherif12]

lpt3 vb win95io.dll

nope @ all,

i tried it in many program, all what it do is hanging the procedure or function or sub it is in, differing from for loops which hang the whole machine..

anyway, don't beleive me and try it yourself :roll:

thanks,

Sherif.
