I want my program to show the number and name of the serial ports on my
computer in the same style at e.g. Hyperterminal. Like,,,if the computer has
2 serial ports there will only be 2 serial ports on the list,,,or 10 if the
computer has 10.
Any suggestions on how this can be done ?

The current ports are listed in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/SERIALCOMM (on winXP)
Reading from here works well because this list is dynamically created
(i.e. if a virtual serial port is created via USB)
Hope this helps,
Jamie
I'm sure it does, thanks.

What this code does, is giving me the active ports on the computer. Not the
amount of installed ports on the computer.
