Virtual COM port
Posted by Emmanuel Viollet on January 12th, 2004


Hi.

I've been working on this all day and I still haven't managed to find
out where to start...
I'm trying to write a program that creates a virtual COM port in order
to add my own management code.
I know this kind of program exists and that it seems to be a classic,
but, unluckily I have to write it... :-(

I can't figure out where to start with this. I've tried searching the
WIN32 SDK, the DDK, MSDN, etc. but to no avail.

Can someone please give me a starting point?

In advance, thanks.

A search for POSUSB will find code written (and abandoned) by Microsoft.
It creates a com port and uses it for USB communications, which latter
part you probably don't need.

It's not great, but it's a start.
