to what value shall i set the Setings property of mscomm control if i'm using comm port1? does the default value ok to use?
I'm not sure there is a sensible default setting for Settings.
This is what MSDN has anyway.
VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Load () ' Buffer to hold input string Dim Instring As String ' Use COM1. MSComm1.CommPort = 1 ' 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data, and 1 stop bit. MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1" ' Tell the control to read entire buffer when Input ' is used. MSComm1.InputLen = 0 ' Open the port. MSComm1.PortOpen = True ' Send the attention command to the modem. MSComm1.Output = "ATV1Q0" & Chr$(13) ' Ensure that ' the modem responds with "OK". ' Wait for data to come back to the serial port. Do DoEvents Buffer$ = Buffer$ & MSComm1.Input Loop Until InStr(Buffer$, "OK" & vbCRLF) ' Read the "OK" response data in the serial port. ' Close the serial port. MSComm1.PortOpen = False End Sub
