Port Control Overview

The Greenleaf CommX Port Control provides the interface for robust access to all functionality of one or more serial ports. Win32 serial communications drivers are used. The Port Control runs one or more threads separate from your application. Property pages provide for design and run time settings of such parameters as port, baud rate, parity, handshaking, etc.

A major advantage of using CommX is that it is event driven. Your applications can respond to clearly defined events rather than have to poll some port parameter. Incoming data, completion of an outgoing file, reception of a particular terminal escape sequence -- these and many more events are available when you use CommX.

Terminal Control Overview

The Greenleaf CommX Terminal Control interface ItermCtl provides a configurable terminal emulation for your application. By including this control, you will get the ability to format a window with the characteristics of a popular terminal.

Keyboard and incoming character sequences can be assigned to macros or commands. This very powerful capability offers you the power to customize terminal emulation. You can establish incoming strings that will, when received, trigger your event handlers. You can bind a key to a string to be transmitted. You can associate subroutines or methods with keys - giving you the power!

File Transfer Control Overview

This control integrates with the Port Control and (if desired) the Terminal Control to provide seamless data communications using standard file transfer protocols. In this release of CommX, the protocols supported are ZModem and ASCII file transfers.

ZModem includes all the popular options such as sliding window, overwrite options, crash recovery and much more.
