SetCommState (Windows CE 5.0)
This function configures a communications device according to specifications in a device-control block (DCB) structure.
The function reinitializes hardware and control settings, but does not empty output or input queues.
BOOLSetCommState(HANDLEhFile, LPDCBlpDCB);
Parameters
hFile
[in] Handle to the communications device.The CreateFile function returns this handle.
lpDCB
[in] Long pointer to a DCB structure containing the configuration information for the specified communications device.
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success.
Zero indicates failure.
To obtain extended error information, call the GetLastError function.
Remarks
The SetCommState function uses a DCB structure to specify the desired configuration. The GetCommState function returns the current configuration.
To set only a few members of the DCB structure, modify a DCB structure that has been filled in by a call to GetCommState. This ensures that other members of the DCB structure have appropriate values.
The SetCommState function fails if the XonChar member of the DCB structure is equal to the XoffChar member.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Winbase.h.
Link Library: Serdev.lib.
