I am currently working on a project that uses the MSComm control to access the serial port on a windows 2k machine. I have the program working great for the main dialog, but when I open one of the other "pop-up" dialogs, I lose the ability to use the MSComm control in the new pop-up. Is there a way to allow all of my dialogs in the program to share access to the MSComm control??? I really don't want to make a seperate control for each dialog...
