Coms port and RAM disk - Willi Grundmann - 03-05-2024 Hi to everyone, I am new to QB64PE but have used a previous version of QB64 and Inform before. Over the decades I also have used QB45 for many projects. I am retired now and am investigating the suitability of QB64PE and Inform-PE for a hobby project. I would like to find out the following. Coms Port: Is it possible to communicate via a serial coms port? The old QB45 required a coms port on the mother boards. New computers do not have serial coms ports anymore. Would a USB based coms port adapter work with QB64PE? Code examples are very appreciated. The version of Inform, which I used before only allowed to set up one window. For my hobby project, I would need several windows. Can the latest version of Inform do more than one window? If not then I would like to exchange data between the programs of several windows either via files on the HDD or a RAM disk. Any reply and advice on this topic is greatly appreciated. Best Regards Willi RE: Coms port and RAM disk - mdijkens - 03-05-2024 Yes, serial adapters over usb work fine in QB64pe. Below the functions I created for this Code: (Select All)

If you're working on a Windows system, the GuiTools Framework could be used. It has easy to use multi-windows support as shown in the Multi Windows Demo. Willi Grundmann sounds german, also kann ich auch in deutsch Hilfestellung geben, wenn erforderlich. |
