I am new to this forum as will as to VB. I am using VB6. I want to access the USB port in order to read the data at the USB port comming from my Data acquisition card.Or as a matter of fact can I also access the data from my mouse, because it also transmits the signal when ever the mouse is moving.
View 3 RepliesI can find documentation (preferably with code samples) that will guide me through all the steps to activate and read from a serial port?
View 6 RepliesI have am using an XBee ZigBee wireless module to communicate with a project of mine. I currently have it set up to the point where I can open a hyperterminal session to COM 4 (which is the usb com port), and recieve the data that is being sent via the microcontroller on the other side of the wireless link.
I would like to make an app that takes the data and puts it in to a more user-readable format. (Via VB 2005) So far all I have come up with is some problems. It doesn't seem like I can use the built in serial port tool to access a "virtual" com port. From the following link:Quote:
Note You cannot use the Microsoft .NET Framework classes to directly access other types of ports, such as parallel ports or USB ports.[URL]..Do I have to use a "COM port redirector" to make it seem like a real COM port? Or is there some easy way that I am not thinking of?
I have been doing some research into accessing devices on a USB port and it's kind of helped, but not really. From what I understand, I can use the IO.Port namespace to access a device on a USB port (usually). Let me know if this is incorrect.
First, I made a simple program that looped through the ports available. I get COM1 and COM3, but I have 4 USB ports. Where are the others?
My
Dim comm As New List(Of IO.Ports.SerialPort) 'list of comm ports

I'm debugging a VB app where I'm using a comm port attached to a bluetooth radio paired to another bluetooth radio in order to communicate with a remote barcode scanner. The pair of bluetoooth devices basically work as a serial cable replacement. Sometimes it works fine, but after a while I get an UnauthorizedAccessException message which breaks the program (see attached jpeg).
I only get this when I use the radios and not when I use a direct cable. I wonder if it has something to do with other bluetooth devices nearby trying to communicate with mine. I've used the .NET Framework 2.0 Confuration tool to adjust the zone security to give full trust to MyComputer, so I don't think it has to do with security, but I'm really going beyond my area of expertise here. I don't know what's going on.

Basically in visual basic 6 I could access word tables in existing templates with the code owordactivedoc.tables(1).select() where owordactivedoc refers to the active word document and tables(1) refers to the first table in the template.Trying the same code in VB 2003 just leads to errors. Secondly how do I access bookmarks or alternatively word variables.Furthermore how do one deploy web.services. For example the current program I am building is for another computer. Simply copying the web service to Inetpubwwwroot dont work because it is not picked up by the Internet Information Services program. I have to create the web service in vb2003 on the other computer change msconfig manually. Copy and paste the existing service vb file in the created folder replacing the empty vb file.

myObject has a property called rect (which is a Rectangle). During runtime I will want to chage the X position of such rectangle, but I am given this error:
