#155461 - I Do Not Qute Understand....

PS I would also be really annoyed if a program changed the baud rate on a comm port it wasn't going to use!

Yes, that would be unforgivable!



In order for an application to use a COMM port under Windows the port must be opened. Only after the port is open do you set the baud rate and so forth. And the App cannot open the port if it is already open by another application. So where is the annoyance.

It seems rather silly for any App to depend upon the default settings for a COMM port frame format or baud rate. How could you ever depend on that to work??

So this point about this "unforgivable action" makes no sense to me!!!

Now I agree if you're talking about something out in the tall grass by the junk pile behind the garage from the rusty DOS days then OK but then I don't seem to recall USB serial adapters from those days either.
