Opening a commport in Visual C++

[Eric Kowalewski]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I would open a commport in VC++? I need to
communicate with a piece of hardware and send ascii commands to it.

Thanks,
Eric

You can do this with the CreateFile function. For more information on using CreateFile and the other file I/O functions with a comm port, see the Communications Resources in MSDN.
