Is there any way to output Hex or Binary using MSComm?

[Guest_imported]

Is there any way to output Hex or Binary using MSComm? I have tried, but can only sucessfully output in ascii. If I convert to hex (using Hex[])or binary first (using CByte[]), I get an 'invalid property value' error.

Or is there a better way to communicate to com ports using vb?

use a byte array to send your data.
ie.

Dim ByteArray(3) as Byte

ByteArray(0) = &H2
ByteArray(1) = &H6
ByteArray(2) = &HD
ByteArray(3) = &HA

Mscomm.Output = ByteArray()
