SetCommState
The SetCommState function configures a communications device according to the specifications
in a device-control block (a DCB structure). The function reinitializes all hardware and control settings, but
it does not empty output or input queues.
BOOL SetCommState(
HANDLE hFile,
| // handle of communications device
| LPDCB lpDCB
| // address of device-control block structure
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
Identifies the communications device. The CreateFile function returns this handle.
lpDCB
Points to a DCB structure containing the configuration information for the specified
communications device.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The SetCommState function uses a DCB structure to specify the desired configuration. The GetCommState function returns the current configuration.
To set only a few members of the DCB structure, you should modify a DCB structure that has been filled in by a call to GetCommState. This ensures that the other members of the DCB structure have appropriate values.
The SetCommState function fails if the XonChar member of the DCB structure is equal to the XoffChar member.
When SetCommState is used to configure the 8250, the following restrictions apply to the values
for the DCB structure's ByteSize and StopBits members:
- The number of data bits must be 5 to 8 bits.
- The use of 5 data bits with 2 stop bits is an invalid combination, as are 6,
7, or 8 data bits with 1.5 stop bits.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
