Serial Port Sniffer ActiveX Control - SetRealPortHandflow

The SetRealPortLineControl method sets the configuration of handshake flow control of real serial port.  

BOOL SetHandFlow(
  ULONG ControlHandShake, // Handshake control parameter
  ULONG FlowReplace, // Flow control parameter
  ULONG XOnLimit, // Flow control parameter
  ULONG XOffLimit // Flow control parameter
);


Parameters

  ControlHandShake - [out] ControlHandShake is a set of flags that defines the modem lines that are used for flow control. Can be combination of the following flags:  

Value Meaning Hex
SERIAL_DTR_CONTROL Enables the DTR line when the device is opened and leaves it on.
0x01
SERIAL_DTR_HANDSHAKE Use the modem signal DTR for input flow control. For the real serial port the DTR line is cleared by
the controller if the receive buffer reaches the programmed high water mark.
See also description of XonLimit and XoffLimit.
0x02
SERIAL_CTS_HANDSHAKE Use the modem signal CTS, DCD or DSR respectively for output flow control.
For the real serial port if the corresponding modem line(s) found as cleared, the controller will hold
data transmission.
0x08
SERIAL_DCD_HANDSHAKE
0x20
SERIAL_DSR_HANDSHAKE
0x10
SERIAL_DSR_SENSITIVITY Ignore any character arriving when the DSR line is not set.
0x40
SERIAL_ERROR_ABORT If there exists an error condition the driver abort all read and writes to or from
this port.
0x80000000

   
FlowReplace - [out] FlowReplace is a set of flags defining flow control stuff. Can be combination of the following flags:
 

Value Meaning Hex
SERIAL_AUTO_TRANSMIT Use the XON/XOFF protocol based flow control for output.
0x01
SERIAL_AUTO_RECEIVE Use the XON/XOFF protocol based flow control for input.
0x02
SERIAL_ERROR_CHAR If set, the ErrorChar is placed in the stream of received characters on error
conditions like buffer overflow, frame errors and so on.
0x04
SERIAL_NULL_STRIPPING If set, the reception of a NULL character is ignored.
0x08
SERIAL_BREAK_CHAR If set, the BreakChar is placed in the stream of received characters when a
break condition was detected.
0x10
SERIAL_RTS_CONTROL Enables the RTS line when the device is opened and leaves it on.
0x40
SERIAL_RTS_HANDSHAKE Use the modem signal RTS for input flow control.
0x80

    XOnLimit - [out] Minimum number of bytes allowed in the input buffer before flow control is activated to inhibit the sender.  
XOffLimit - [out] Maximum number of bytes allowed in the input buffer before flow control is activated to allow transmission by the sender.

Return Values

  If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE, otherwise FALSE.


Remarks
  You are able to set this method forcibly, without waiting for events.
