Hi all, i'm trying to get some help again:
I'm working on a little application for serial data transfer (actually only strings transfer) between 2 pc.
My problem is to make work an autoreceive routine to receive continuosly characters and put them in an edit box.
I'm trying in this way: when i enable autoreceive i call continuosly at every MessageLoop the following function:
; AutoReceive Function
AutoRX: call ReadFile,FileHndle,Pointer,1,offset Read, offset ovl
inc Pointer
call SetWindowTextA,E120,offset RecBuffer
call SendMessageA,E120,000Fh,0,0
ret
you should only try to receive data if there really IS data present... i don't know how to deal with serial connections but i would setup a timer (say 1 sec) - everytime a timerevent is in your quene the prog should look for something like a "data is present" byte, if there is one it should send a "receive data" byte back and create a thread which receives all the data until a "data end" byte is there.
or try to onyly create ONE thread which loops your get_char function all the time, now it does the same job but without blocking your process.
only a suggestion, good luck, bye :)
