CTSHolding in serial communication control from Sax?

Hi Everybody,

I'm using VB.NET 2003 and have installed serial communication control from
Sax. However, I found that there is no CTSHolding property which I use
before in VB6's MSComm to determine the status of an external device. Do
you have any idea on this issue?

Thanks for your attention and kindly advice!

Regards,
James Wong

Hi,

In the full product the equivalent to CTSHolding is the CTS property. I'm
not sure about the Community Edition.

If it doesn't have a CTS property (this property is not shown in the docs),
you can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage (it has CTSHolding).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
