hello all
i am working with some positioning devices and need to control them using visual basic.
the devices need some configuration strings (which are text files stored in the computer) to start them working.
i have the software which ships along with the devices but it isnt very user friendly and hence my employers wanted to have a visual basic code instead to do the job. the software interface has some 4-5 buttons which says open (sends the text file to the device register), search( searches how many devices are connected over the serial port), go (the device starts working and display their output).
i was trying to use mscomm but i had little success to send the text strings as well as retrieve any data.
can anyone of u plz tell me what to do or guide me someway.
any sample code would be of great help.
regards. shefali.
