Windows 7 and commMG?

[jimg]

I haven't used commMG for awhile. When I run the snippet shown, I get the dreaded "This program has stopped running" popup from Windows 7 which offers to look online for a solution (which it doesn't find).

I'm running the very latest AutoIt3 and commMG (updated just before posting this message).

The failure occurs immediately upon executing the _CommGetLine instruction (as opposed to waiting until the timeout passes).

--------------------------

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <CommMG.au3>

#include <GuiEdit.au3>

#include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$value = "COM4"

;$value=inputbox("RFID","Comm Port?")

$result=""

$port = _CommSetport($value,$result,9600,8,0,1,0)

$Main1 = GUICreate("8086 SDK Board Programmer", 400, 400)

$listIN = GUICtrlCreateList("", 25, 50, 250, 250)

$txtOut = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 25, 315, 200, 25)

$btnSend = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send", 225, 315, 50, 25)

$lblBaud = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 75, 10, 50, 25)

$lblPort = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 25, 10, 50, 25)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Main1)

Sleep(50)

$instr = _CommGetline(@CR, 200, 2000)

msgbox(0,"",@error)

_CommClosePort()

-----------------------------

The port parameter in _CommSetport is an integer not a string. (Read the comments fo rthe function in the UDF)

For COM4 use

_CommSetport(4,....

and not

_CommSetport("COM4",...

That might be all that is wrong.

Good catch, but drat. I made that change and it still fails the same way (with or without quotes on the 4).

My bad. It appears that maybe the open port command with bad syntax may have clogged up the OS somehow. A re-boot fixed it. Thanks!
