Hi,
I have a DLL which communicates via the COM port.
The problem is that when you send a message to the port, the DLL waits for a reply. The main app using the DLL freezes while waiting for the reply. Does anyone have an idea how I can get around this delay in the main app?
Can I start the DLL as a seperate thread?
Many Thanks.
