How to control parallel port using VB6?
|
|
|
| Hello,
I need to send/receive message from a parallel port. Unfortunatily, I
couldn't find any control similar with MSCOMM.ocx for this purpose. Can
anyone tell me how to do? Is there API for this purpose?
Thanks in advance.

If you're using win98, you can use a dll.
I've had excellent luck with
inpout32.dll.
XP won't let you access the port, so you'll need an ocx control.
My favorite is to defeat the XP prohibition on port access and use
inpout32.dll, but that'd be a poor choice for a commercial product.
Sounds like there may be freeware ocx controls by now.
