Capture Data

How do i capture data from COM PORTS?
THANKS!:confused:

Hey,

Start a new project.

Right click on the toolbox and select "Components.."

In the controls tab scroll down until you see "Microsoft Comm Control 6.0"

Check the lil box and click ok.

You can now use the mscom control to receive from a com port of your choice.. if u need an example of using it in code let me know and i'll paste it up here.

:rolleyes:

an example would be great!
Thanks!
