About Serial Communication ... ?

[LACHEZAR]

I try to write communication program using
Serial Port & WIN32 API .

Something like - WINDOWS \ Accessories \ Hyper Terminal component.

I use that program for my tests. I have no problem to send information ! But I have some difficulties to receive information from Hyper Terminal to my program ?
- problem concerning synchronization - I need to read more about the serial communication as a strategy .
- problem concerning symbol convertion - my buffer is
BYTE type ... do I need to convert it to char type ?

I'm not sure , if I need to organize some reseivning cycle - what must be my approach ?

{
BYTE ReadData[11];
char ReadData[11];
DWORD ReadBytes = 10;
BOOL RetVal;
CString string;

ReadData[0] = 48L;
...............................
ReadData[9] = 48L;

RetVal = ReadFile(CommInfo.ComDev, ReadData, ReadBytes, &ReadBytes,
NULL);

if (!RetVal)
{
string.Format(_T("FAIL to RECEIVE data !"));
AfxMessageBox(string);

return(1);
}

ReadData[10] = '\0';
string.Format(_T("%s"), &ReadData[0]);
AfxMessageBox(string);

return 0;
}


Thank You !
