rs232- [C]

Hello,

It *was* a success... however not for long! :-)

Please consider the following code:
============================================

#include "Serial.h"
#include "SerialEx.h"
#include "SerialWnd.h"

CSerialWnd MySerial;

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc_CW1 (HWND hwnd, UINT message,
                      WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
static DWORD dwBytesRead = 0;
static BYTE abBuffer[40]; //Bytes
static TCHAR szBuffer[80]; //Wide characters

....other code...

MySerial.Open(TEXT("COM1"),hwnd,WM_NULL,lParam,0,0);

if (message == CSerialWnd::mg_nDefaultComMsg)
    {
    // A serial message occurred
      const CSerialWnd::EEvent eEvent = CSerialWnd::EEvent(LOWORD(wParam));
      const CSerialWnd::EError eError = CSerialWnd::EError(HIWORD(wParam));

       switch (eEvent)
       {
           case CSerialWnd::EEventRecv:
    MySerial.Read(abBuffer,sizeof(abBuffer),&dwBytesRead); //Break point
    break;
           default:
                break;
       }

       MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP,0,(LPCSTR)abBuffer,40,szBuffer,80);
     
       MySerial.Close();

  return 0;
 }

switch(message)
{
   case WM_SIZE:

....other code...

=================================================

The micro controller is sending the following message to VC++,

printf("Enter the first number: ");

And all I am able to read is the following as I put my cursor over abBuffer
(in which has a breakpoint on it) is:

"Enter thUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

Except that there is two dots on top of al the U.

A little discouraged!

I mean why would it read the first 8 characters and then all Us?

And furthermore, sometimes I get the right result, being:

"Enter the first number: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

Its like rs232 is inconsistant?

Can someone help!

Thanking you in advance!
