hi,
I have a barcodescanner connected with a serialport(rs232) of my computer. How can i read that data with visual c++ ??
i found at Microsoft _bios_serialcom(), but i think visual c++ 6 doesn't support it anymore.

Regards

You should use CreateFile function with file name "COM1" and open flag: OPEN_EXISTING.
Do a search on MSDN for the article: "Communication with class". That'll help...
