Virtual Serial Port ActiveX

Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control

With Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control your application will be able to create and fully control virtual serial ports in your system.

Common objectives and our solutions:

Zoom

• Obtain full support of events, methods and properties

Virtual Serial Port ActiveX fully automates the work of created virtual serial ports. A special function can be defined to find out about any event that occurred with the port: ports` state has changed, or new data has been received or sent. The same way you can configure your application to be notified about any event that happened to the port in the process of communication with any Windows application - whether the port was opened or closed, flow control or control line status altered, signal lines wiring manipulated, baud rate changed, etc.

 OnHandFlow(
   LONG ControlHandShake,    // Handshake control parameter
   LONG FlowReplace,         // Flow control parameter

   LONG XOnLimit,            // Minimum number of bytes allowed in the input
                             // buffer before flow control is
                             // activated to inhibit the sender.

   LONG XOffLimit            // Maximum number of bytes allowed in the input
                             // buffer before flow control is activated
                             // to allow transmission by the sender.
 );

• Set custom signal lines wiring

Virtual serial ports created with Virtual Serial Port ActiveX emulate and support all usual hardware signal lines (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, etc.). As in a real null-modem connection, DTR of the local port will be connected to DSR and DCD of the remote port, and RTS of the local port will be connected to CTS of the remote port. Moreover, you can either leave default pinout schemes for your purposes or set custom pinout ones to achieve best results of your work.
