Absolutely brilliant starstarstarstar   Posted by: Dave on Saturday, June 22, 2002

I'd been searching ALL DAY for something which could handle serial communications in windows for a point of sale printer, and I integrated this with my Borland C++ code within an hour of downloading.

Excellent starstarstarstar   Posted by: Nick on Tuesday, June 22, 2004

It does exactly what is says in the description, and the documentation is good. (using Borland C++ Builder 5 and XP).

This rocks! starstarstarstarstar   Posted by: George Nakos on Thursday, March 17, 2005

I just loaded it up in Builder 5 on WinXP and it communicated with Accuload (a loading controller) with no changes on the test source!

Awesome!

(especially because I was getting a bit worried after searching for serial communications in MSDN and finding (practically) nothing)

Gave me head start. starstarstarstarstar   Posted on Saturday, March 18, 2006

Excellent small an clear application to show the essence of using serial communication with bcb. Everything eles false into place while examining the well documented code
Thanks.

How to send on COM3 starstarstarstarstar   Posted by: dutch dude on Friday, July 13, 2007

hi,

my laptop does only have a COM3 port. how can i change the standard COM2 into COM3?

i've tried just to change the name in the function connect("COM3" etc.

but that doesnt work. i also don't see a message "connected" or something. the memo is still clear.

if you can help me, please answer,

somewhere in the cpp file (the borland demo file) there is this function:

serial_port.connect("COM2",38400,SERIAL_PARITY_NONE,8,false);

here you only have to chance "COM2" into "COM3"

good luck

somewhere in the borland demo file (the cpp file) you will find this code:
serial_port.connect("COM2",38400,SERIAL_PARITY_NONE,8,1);

now you it's easy to replace "COM2" by "COM3"

good luck
