Communicating through COM ports

[Uniquex]

Hi guys,

I will need detailed help on this. i am a newbie to vb6 too.
I need to send and receive a self-written data-type object through the COM port to an external device. The external device will use assembly language to communicate back but that is not done by me.

i am totally new at this, so i was wondering what APIs(if required) or functions do i need to use to achieve my scope of job
i.e sending and receiving objects through the COM port

thanks

The MSComm control provides direct access to the COM ports
