Comm32 Communications OCX 3.2y

Use the Comm32 ocx to quickly add Serial Communications capabilities to your applications. Comm32 is compatible with MSComm in that it uses the same property names, methods and syntax which means that you can quickly add Comm32 to a VB6 project in place of MSComm32 without needing to change any of your code or learn any new syntax. (also works for other languages with minor syntax changes.) But why not use Microsoft's MSComm32 component ? Anyone who has used MSCom for even a short length of time will have identified a number of shortcomings - For example. MSCom only supports comports 1 to 16. But serious developers will eventually notice other, more problematic, 'features' where applications become unresponsive or appear to 'freeze' for extended periods (or forever !) as well as unexplained data loss etc. In a many cases we've expanded the range of a property. For example buffer sizes with MSComm are all limited to 32k. In fact if you understand com ports you may not want larger buffers anyway - but you're the developer and if you want to stack a huge file into the transmit buffer and go away and do something productive while Comm32 transmits it all in the background then who are we to argue. Comm32 gives you the options to do what you want without the limitations imposed by MSComm32
