Using a serial port, clueless

[arctidog]

Hi, I need to access a serial port for use with an IR tower, and, well, I have no clue where to start, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

You can get a handle to com ports using the CreateFile() API function. Look in the help, in particular at the section that deals with "Communication Resources".

Once you have a handle, you can use the handle based I/O routines.

Thanks! So far this seems to help, I'll keep working at it.
