[comp.windows.ms] serial i/o under ms-windows

kipnis@janus.Berkeley.EDU (Gary Kipnis) (09/30/89)

When using serail port through windows, does windows send your program
a message for received characters and other serial port activity, or do
I have to poll it, by reading data from the serial port and see how
many characters have been read?

thanks your,

Windows does not notify you when characters are received.  You have to check
via the status word it allows you to setup.
