    How to add and use an OnComEvent with MSComm Control

    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?

    why not use SerialPort?
