Read Data From An External Device Using MSComm Control ?
Nov 30, 2010
I am trying to read data from an external device using MSComm control but the problem is I am getting wrong data. I am recieving 1 byte data but the first three bits are wrong so anything greater than 31 sent from the external devices is recieved wrongly. eg. if I am sending 63(111111) from the device then the input from MSComm control gives me 159(10011111).Due to this reason I tried SerialPort from .Net framework and was surprised to see that it is working properly.

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?

I'm trying to connect to an external device using a serial port. I found a couple of tutorials with demo code and tried these. Unfortunately they all return the same gibberish unreadible result.[code]I'm sure my port settings are correct (I have the communication protocol of the device.)

I am developing an application which is pretty much a replacement of a hyperterminal. I am trying to send commands to the serial port using MSComm in VB6.0 When I type in on the hyperterminal h003128 I get a response OK. Or when I type in i003 it displays back some values.
What I am trying to figure out how do I send the h003128 via VB6. I believe I've undertood how to send data to the port. It seems I am not getting the correct formate. This wont work.. the formate iAAADDD where i = i AAA = 003 and DDD = 128 MSComm1.Output "i003128"

How can I create a simple application to send timed controls to an external device?
What I need is to create a very simple application that sends control signals or voltages out to an external device connected via serial perhaps. The external device will in turn trigger some electromechanical devices. There needs to be 24 independent controls each with a simple command equivalent to on or off. What is important is being able to control the timings of the on and off on each control.[code]....

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

My current program can read in a continuous stream of data when initialized and I can send a command to retrieve the devices stored data, I also have within the same program code that will read an XML file and populate from controls.
I have two separate idea's right now that I'm trying to merge into one
I want to read in XML and populate my controls. I'm aware of delegate and Invoke but I'm having a hard time working them into my XML portion or the opposite "working my XML into my serial port class".

how to read files from an USB mass storage device. I have found plenty of posts regarding drive letter detecting and reading the files. It's OK, but what about a device, where no drive letter is assigned - e.g. my mobile phone is visible under "My Computer" as "Mobile Device". The same situation it with my MP3 player. It's visible under "My Computer" as "Sansa device". Please, could anybody help me? I need to enumerate USB devices, identify, which ones have a file system and finally, I need to read/write a file to the file system.

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to run different programs with my VB program. Using Excel and other MS office programs is easy enough since I just add in the relevant COMs, but I can't for the life of me find out how to run other programs. I promise I spent many hours searching before bothering you kind folks here! I'd think this is a common issue so maybe I haven't been searching for the right thing.how to write code that will control and read data from applications.I know you can do "Process.Start" to open any application, and it looks like there are ways to determine the controls available on an open application, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is this possible? Or do I have to import a .dll file for every program I want to control? Or are both possible?

I like to read text from another application's buttons, labels and textboxes with the help of "SendMessage". I've tried so many different code examples, but nothing worked. Maybe somebody of you has a small VB.Net-Example on your harddrive and explain it a bit to me.

I have a situation where I have a vb.net program that uses two connection strings. This program will be used on multiple web servers on multiple domains and the only difference for any of them is the two connection strings.What would be the best solution to read in these connection strings from a file separate from my actual .vb code?
Ideally I want to be able to drop the .vb and the connection string file into its own folder on any number of asp.net websites and not update anything else (for example add any connections to the web.config or anything) than the external file containing the connection strings, I assume something like xml would suffice?

I am trying to extend some features of a external programm that is not able to use plugins or something. So I have to write my own app that reads the text from a textbox from this external application and trigger some own actions.
By using the FindWindow API in user32.dll I allready catched up the handle for the external application. But now I am kind of stuck. By using Spy++ from the Visual Studio Tools I got the information that the class name from the control I would like to read from is "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.218f99c", but there are several of them. Additionally every time the external app starts it creates a new control id for the textbox I want to read.

I'm currently working on a project where I am transmitting data from a comm device via the serial port and resorting the raw data (in binary) to its respective ascii values. The problem I'm facing is determining the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Essentially, I have 68 bytes coming in, the first and second bytes represent the page and packet number and the data itself ranges from 3 to 64, the remaining for my checksum.
What I am needing to do is, grab 50 consecutive bytes per variable in my array, and that is where I'm confused. I have easily pulled my 3-64 bytes and stored that data to a string. I just don't know the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Should I write directly to file all my data, as there are like 8 pages, of 128 packet data. [Code] I can capture the the first 50 by using a for-loop easily, but what would be the preferred method to track what data chunk I've taken? The more I think about it, I think I may just want to write to file, all my data, and then just take them back to back in 50 byte chunks. Is that the most efficient method?

I want to select either "Wave" or "What U Hear" or "Microphone" or "Analog Mix" (LineIn) in the Windows Recording Control applet, i.e. as if I clicked the applicable "Select" checkbox.
I got this VB6 code on the Net (not sure where) and tried to convert it to VB2008. It is very near to correct I think, but the last part does not work.

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Some of the programs I am writing make extensive use of External files (saved games, data, item lists, etc.) I could use an easy way to get these files to ride allong during deployment (cd mostly). adding them to the resources works for some static pictures, but custom structures into lists of info to read and write from are beond that features abilities, same with the settings feature. I have found in other help referance to "MageUI.exe" so is downloading a .net SDK my solution or is there a better trick I can use?
