InputMode

Sets or Retrieves the property indicating the InputMode

Available at design time and runtime.

Syntax	object.InputMode = value

object	Name of the communications control.
value	A numerical expression being one of the following values. 0 = comInputModeText 1 = comInputModeBinary

Examples	Comm1.InputMode = 0	'// Set the value (Text mode)
	Text1.Text = Comm1.Input	'// Display retrieved data as a string


	Comm1.InputMode = 1
	Dim b( ) as Byte	'// Array to hold received bytes.
	b = Comm1.Input NumBytesReceived = Ubound(b) +1	'// Do not set the size of the array. '// Comm32 will size the array for you.

Remarks:

comInputModeText Data is retrieved as a standard 'String'. Individual elements of the string may contain any ascii/byte value including control codes etc.

comInputModeBinary Data is retrieved as an Array of Bytes.

32bit development in VB6 using the Comm32 Communications OCX ?

Or are you looking for a proper .Net Component ?

Carry on using most of the common and well documented MSComm32 syntax but with a proper .net component allowing you to build x86, x64 and AnyCPU projects using Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010.
