A lot wrong:

1)You did not set port parameters: speed, parity, stopbits...,
for example: 
gszPort = "COM2:9600,N,8,1";
2)You also did not create DCB.

See my TPortControl in codecentral, serial com samples on 
www.bcbdev.com, 
and make search "Jonathan Arnold Serial Communications" on 
http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm.
