- I have downloaded some sample programs from Borland which use the COM
- drivers. The problem is that they are slow; one character is read from
- the port for each iteration through MessageLoop (which actually calls a
- couple other methods before the character is actually transferred from
- the port). I noticed the routine SetCommEventMask which lets you choose
- which activities generate an event. BUT: how do you process these events?
- Is there a Windows message generated for each time a character comes in??
-
- just wondering, please e-mail reply; sjsobol@wariat.org or sjsobol@tiny.com
