i am creating an application as below to send decimal value to microcontroller through serial comm, the setting is 2400, n, 8, 1...hardware flow control...

if i am expecting character from the microcontroller for display at the screen, which icon should i select from the toolbox to put in the form1.frm for this display purpose? and what should i write inside the command?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command1_Click()

MSComm1.Output = Chr$(Text1.Text)

End Sub

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
MSComm1.Settings = "2400,n,8,1"
End Sub

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()

///what shall i write here? or just leave it blank?

End Sub

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Text1_Change()

End Sub

You could use the On_Comm() event to recognize when the output transmit is completed, when something has been received or when an input handshake signal has changed state.

Perform a search in the forums of this website or access Google for a search on implementation of MSComm.
