Re: Windows application control through Serial port

Devise a system of commands that the microcontroller sends to the C++ program, and then have the program carry out the commands.

What specifically is your question? What is it that you want to find out?

Wow. You're basically asking how to program for the Windows platform.

There's no simple answer, it's a long process of research and learning.

As for which headers and libraries to use, the answer is "all of them."

Why not start researching some of these things with MSDN and Google, and then come back when you have specific questions about a particular thing.

Have you ever written a Windows program before? Do you know how to use Visual Studio?

Everyone was a noob at one point.

You might want to start with a book like this one:

I wish you lots of luck with your project, and welcome to the world of Windows programming!

Have a look at Codeproject Articles[^] regarding Serial port communication. You can find a lot of samples which handles serial port communication. Now the rest is to interpret the read data accordingly and do the intended operations. If you have more doubts about "how to do x", then please be specific.

Regards,
Jijo.

In your serial communication class you must have an eventhandler which is called by interrupt service and sending custom messages to your mainfrm application class. Handle this custom messages to convert them to windows messages.

Popup Menu

I'd like to make a popup menu with the following code. However my assertion (ASSERT(m_Popup)) always fails. I've no idea what the problem could be. Thanks.

void CChildView::OnContextMenu(CWnd* pWnd, CPoint point)
{
	CMenu PopupMenu;
	PopupMenu.LoadMenu(IDR_P);	

	CMenu *m_Popup = PopupMenu.GetSubMenu(0);

	ASSERT(m_Popup);

	m_Popup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN |TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, this);
	// TODO: Add your message handler code here
}

Richard Andrew x643-Jan-09 6:59

GetSubMenu() only returns a sub menu that already exists.

If you want to create a new one, you must call CreateSubMenu(), and then attach menu items to it with AppendMenu or InsertMenu.

Thaks for the answer. I created a menu (IDR_P), and I thought that loading it would do all the aforementioned, or what is the point in using creating Menu resources?
Of course if I can't get around it, i will use the method you suggested I just thought that using a resource would be simpler. Thanks again.

Does PopupMenu.LoadMenu(...) succeed? If so, is there a popup menu at index 0 in the IDR_P menu?

I also did an assertion on PopupMenu.LoadMenu() and it was OK. How can I check if there is a popup menu at index 0?
Thanks
