Hi guys,

I have a PcCredit serial board which i'm using for a University project and
i'm told that it's an ActiveX control itself ( it has an arcade coin mechanisim
plugged into it).

I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this before, or could find the
time to help me.

I have NO idea whatsoever on how to use ActiveX controls, so i'm feeling this
could be a mission to do!

I have had several people try to help me (but they don't do director) and
they've said that I have to include the DLL with events so I can recieve event
driven messages (whatever that means).

The board is: Fully handshaking at 9600 Baud Rate, No Parity. 8 Data Bits and
1 Stop Bit

And I can provide software engineer's manuals if needed.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hi Dave,
I am almost sure I can help you with that.
At the moment I am working on a project that uses serial port communication,
and I also use ActiveX components in the same project.

Let me know here if you are interested, so I can give you contact details or
pointers to start with this.

Good luck,
Richard.

Check this link:
http://www.mods.com.au/ActiveX/index.htm.

It discusses how to make your own, but between that you can see how to use
an ActiveX you already have, and has some info on how to load it into
director.

It should come with an installer that installs the ActiveX to interface with
the board. You will have to run that installer on any machines you
distribute too.

As long as it's passing back strings and integers, things are pretty
straight forward. If it's trying to send you an unsigned long integer, it's
trickier getting it back in Director.
