Hi,

Can someone please provide me the sample code for USB port programming in VB6?

email: to.go @ gmx. de

Thanks,
Tom

 

There is no such thing as simply writing to a USB port in VB6. You write to devices that just happen to be on the USB port. Each device can have its own driver and therefore its own interface with VB6.

If you are thinking of writing to a USB-hosted serial port, then you would just access that port the same as if it were a legacy serial port, by name ("COM1", "COM2", etc.). So instead of trying to figure out how to talk to USB, just figure out how to call a serial port in VB6. I know how to do it in C++ using the Win32 API, but I don't know the VB6 equivalent.

Hello Robert,

Can you send your C++ implementation of USB to me?
I'm trying to do this but I'm not finding much content on the internet.

I said there is no such thing. Most people who ask for USB code are really asking for serial code to talk to a USB-to-serial converter. If this is what you want, then don't look for code for USB. Look for code for serial communication. A good place to start is Microsoft's MSDN web site:

Use the mscomm procedure to write to your com ports.

 

This is merely a link to some resources. I will not support or explain the code.

I am also looking around for docs in serial communication with C++ but I cannot find anything. Is there a component in C++ like the MSCOMM in VB for serial com? If yes, what is it in C++? Can you please give me some clues or send files which can help me for a start?

I would realy appreciate that. Thanks.

 

Since you are using C++, you do not need an object like MSCOMM. Use the file I/O API to open, read and write a COMx port. It is not difficult.

But how do I do that Bill? I have never done port communication or such things. Can you please give the procedure and a sample of code? Thanks.

Something I threw together a while back. Useful for generic playback of captured USB HID stream to devices.

Hi dear..

I also want to make project on port programming but coding must be in VB 6.0, it's a strict rule in our university.

So will you please tell me some basics about how to use the USB ports in VB? Please reply to me, it's compulsory for me... I hope you will help me...

 

hai,

If anybody what to use their parallel port for controlling devices, you can relay on me. I have the program in VB6. I will help you.If interested contact me.

Hi,

Do you get any sample code for USB port programming in VB6?
plz send me any of it
Email [email protected]
Thanks,
Aziz

 

Hay..Aziz

Did you get it ?
please forward to knorren [at] zonnet.nl

Tnx Kees

 

hiya could u email me the vb6 code for the usb , thanks

rafakat.hussain [at] gmail.com

 

Does it work the same way with a parallel port device converter to usb; Cause i have a code on C++ builder to control a device from parallel port. The same code would control the device with the converter.

Thank you.

 

Could someone also forward that email to myself please ([email protected]).

Thanks,
Matt

 

Please help me with this...please do share...

 

Hi, if you still want a USB example for VB6, please write me at my e-mail, I´ll send back you a example in VB6 code.

Best regards.
