Hi,
I am trying to connect to a GSM mobile phone via the USB COM port. The phone's OEM has given a device driver for windows, which maps the device to a COM port (say COM 3).
1. I use MS hyperterminal to connect to the phone via the COM port, the port/phone responds well enough.
2. I have an app in VB6.0 which uses the MSComm OCX control to connect to this port. When I try to do the <MSCommObj>.PortOpen = TRUE it results in Runtime error. Is MSComm only for RS232 and not USB??
If so, how do I communicate to the device? Do I need to write an interface between the phone's driver and the VB app?
Please, suggest some workaround.
Thanks,
Gautam
