For RF receiver: Can i implement "hardware flow control" in order to open the serial port (API) with a signal wich is active high?

Thanks for your help!:)

i don`t think you can open a port after a signal change on any pin of rs232.

changed states are recognized by the WaitCommEvent() functions which requires a valid handle to an open com-port to use it.

maybe there are other ways to do - e.g. writing your own driver - but IMO WinApi does not support "wake com on anything" ...
