 |
|
Hi
I need to be able to make a switch that is connected to the computer via the parallel port that can be read with vb in excel. ie. i need the computer to trigger an event when i flick the switch (sort of like i can have a "private sub Test_click()".
I am using win98 for the project and can read / write to the port already, but short of just telling the command to loop i cannot fire an event immediatly after the switch is on.
thanks,
chris

Search for a "winio.zip" file, it has a dll that lets you access ports in vb.
