Hi, I'm trying to find simple code to control the parallel port from Visual Basic 6. I have it coded in QuickBASIC, but this is very primitive and I would like to transfer it into VB. The only problem is, I have no idea what the commands are, all I can find is controlling the printer, but I just want to send bits down the parallel port, not print a document. This is the code I figured out for QB (where thenumber could be from 0 to 256): OUT &H378, thenumer Does anyone know how to do this simply in VB? Thanks a lot Kevin White

This rather depends on what operating system you are using - we use an Active X control to do this under VB see http://www.jspayne.com/ for more info Pls let me know if you find a better way Rgds Dave Fisher "RichC" <rocourtney@att.net> wrote in message news:R4VL7.3486$Kc2.321763@newsread1.prod.itd.earthlink.net... > Try winio from http://www.internals.com > > "Կ�" <someone@nowhere.com> wrote in message > news:0rjJ7.42400$wd1.3269601@news20.bellglobal.com... > > Hi, I'm trying to find simple code to control the parallel port from > Visual > > Basic 6.

Hi All, Anyone know how to direct the 'LINE' command at runtime to a frame on the form instead of the form ? Need to draw simple graphics into various VB 'frames' Is it even possible ? Many thanks Dave

Graphics methods can only be used with these three objects as containers: the Form object, the Picturebox object, and the Printer object. This is according to Visual Basic Graphics Programming second edition by Rod Stephens. Why not put a Picturebox in the frame?

I suggest you use a Picturebox - the Frame cannot be used with the Line method On Tue, 27 Nov 2001 23:35:48 -0000, "Dave Fisher" <dave@distel.co.uk> wrote: >Hi All, > >Anyone know how to direct the 'LINE' command >at runtime to a frame on the form instead of the form ? > >Need to draw simple graphics into various VB 'frames' > >Is it even possible ? > >Many thanks > >Dave > > >

Winio works under 98, NT4.0, and XP with the port i/o functions. My application tests a special gamepad controller used by my employer. Have not tested direct memory access in XP.
