pc parallell port

[Jiko]

We want to communicate with the parallellport,can anyone give us any tips on how to do it?

Use outportb(), inportb() functions.

Use NTPORTLib from

http://www.zealsoftstudio.com

I found this library to be very good.

We use this function when we try to open the paralellport. When we click on the open button we have, we get this message: debug assertion failed
file: winocc.cpp
Whats wrong?

The class CIO is from an ActiveX component, that we found at

http://www.jspayne.com/download/demoio.exe

long CIO::Open(LPCTSTR PortName, LPCTSTR Setup)
{
long result;
static BYTE parms[] =
VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR;
InvokeHelper(0x10, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_I4, (void*)&result, parms,
PortName, Setup);
return result;
}
