Hi John,
From what I read, I likely just need a demo using VaCapture with VaComm. Once I get my characters into a container of some sort. (prefer data before the start and end characters). I can later do what I need to do with that string. I would think this would be just one or two lines of code.
I can get data into a label caption. I was just using the demo terminal program with VAComm. However that data is a continuous stream and not between the start and end characters, or a fixed length, which I also use a timer to slow down to see.
In the future it would be nice to see a property or way to ignore characters on a capture, such as the start and end, alpha characters, or any other extended characters. That would make for a nice scale or bar code reader as an example.
There are no demos and not much information on the use VaCapture, which I believe is all I need to get going.
Thanks for you help.
John P.
