How to add and use an OnComEvent with MSComm Control

**assafey** · Mar 17th, 2009, 04:20 AM

How can I add a MSComm control to a Form in VB2008? like in VB6...
(with properties etz..)

Do I need to change some settings? or download the ocx?

And when it has been added, is it like in VB6 - just clicking twice on the control opens a private sub OnComEvent?

this SerialPort control?
