Topic: What happened to Comm32.ocx?
|
| By: Bruce52 | Posted on: Dec 20 2014 at 03:00:45 PM | | I was reading some articles in the forum and ran across a reference to Comm32.ocx, a component with more functions than SComm32.ocx but less compatibility with MSComm32. I wanted to compare sComm32.ocx to Comm32.ocx since compatibility isn't a big issue, however the download link must be hidden. Of course, if sComm32.ocx works well enough there would be no reason to look any further. | |

| By: Bruce52 | Posted on: Jan 4 2015 at 07:41:43 PM | | Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that would be the case. Been using MSCOmm32.ocx for several years on a home automation project without any obvious failures though one time my outputs suddenly deactivated in the middle of a run and to this day I don't know if it was the ocx or my code that produced the problem. Even though that was a one-time occurrence I want to minimize the chances of a communications failure and am looking at SComm32 as a replacement. | |
