[RESOLVED] Read Data From COM Port

[diablo4303]

Hi everyone...

I have problem here on how to read data from COM Port. Recently i'm working a project on read data from RFID. This device were attached to COM Port. The 1'st i've done is connect to COM port using this code:

Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
  
  Dim strInput As String
    
  With MSComm1
    
    'test for incoming event
    Select Case .CommEvent
      Case comEvReceive
        'display incoming event data to displaying textbox
        strInput = .Input
        
        Text1.SelText = strInput
    End Select
  
  End With 'MSComm1

End Sub

However the output is "||||||". Could someone help me on this? If i'm not mistaken the data from COM Port is in HEX format. Is it true? If true...what should i do to convert to text or string. Really need help here.

Thanks in advances.
