Thread: Serial comm W32 using CreateFile

Hi all

I am very new to C++. I am converting a 16-bit C++ (MSVC++ 1.5) application to 32 bit (MSVC++ 6.0).

I need to replace all deleted programming elements.
The application communicates with special hardware across the serial COM port. The OpenComm function call is deleted in the 32 bit API and I need to use CreateFile (MSDN reference )

I'm not sure what meaning the parameters for CreateFile have in a serial comm setup?
( CreateFile API reference )

Does anybody have an example? Link to explanation? How do I solve this problem??

Thanks!
Steffen
